That 2020-21 season, however, had a happy ending for Liverpool, because, despite the fact that in March has been eight points from the Champions League zonecame back and finished in third position.
Klopp made his Merseyside derbies debut, beating Everton 4-0 in 2015-16 in the Premier. Divock Origi, Mamadou Sakho, Daniel Sturridge and the late Barcelona player Philippe Coutinho marked. Sadio Mané, now at Bayern and sorely missed by Liverpool, decided at Goodison Park in 2016-17 (0-1). And he did it in the 90′.
