Pickford stopped Liverpool in an exciting derby

No goals, but the merseyside derby is exciting this Saturday at Goodison Park, on matchday 6 of the Premier. A 0-0 in which their respective goalkeepers, Jordan Pickford for Everton and Alisson Becker for Liverpool, were the main protagonists. how bad it isthis point is of little use to them that of Frank Lampard, already fighting relegation, and that of Jürgen Klopp, 7 points behind leaders Arsenal and 5 behind ;amchester City (who visit Steven Gerrard’s Aston Villa this Saturday).

Former Barcelona player Arthur Melo, Liverpool’s big surprise in the summer market when he arrived on loan from Juventus, is on the Reds’ bench after obtaining a work permit in time.

It was an exciting derby despite the lack of goals, from power to power, with a reborn Everton where Lampard organized a 4-3-3 that made things difficult for the average of Liverpool. Mohamed Salah and Luis Díaz were heavily watched and, on his return after his suspension, Darwin Núñez tried to shoot on several occasions, but the ball always went wide. The Uruguayan striker returned without a goal.

He started to dominate Liverpool, but Everton also started to come in front of Alisson’s goal. Their respective goalkeepers became stars in their respective interventions. Above all Pickford, stellar when it came to frustrating a few chances from Roberto Firmino, one from Fabinho, before another from Darwin Núñez and finally another from Salah, this in extra time.

Meanwhile, Alisson saved Liverpool by stopping McNeil from scoring with a rare save and before that he was also a hero by thwarting a Maupay shot.

In the first half Tom Davies crashed the ball over the post for Everton. In the 42nd minute, a double chance for Liverpool. First up was a good shot from Darwin Núñez, who hit Patterson first and was frustrated by a good intervention from Pickford. Díaz picked up the ball and dropped it against the post.

In minute 68, after a pass from debutant Maupay, an opportunistic Coady put Everton ahead, but the goal was disallowed for offside after VAR consultation. Diogo Jota reappeared in the 80th minute after the injury he sustained in the preseason. Even Liverpool’s ultra-offensive bet when the Portuguese came on was not worth Klopp’s price. The derby is not for anyone.
