The Briefing - April 24, 2024 at 5:27 PM EDT
Liverpool's Premier League title hopes suffered a major setback on Saturday as they slipped to a 1-0 defeat at Everton, ending Jurgen Klopp's unbeaten record at Goodison Park.
The match was billed as a potential title decider, with Liverpool needing a win to keep pace with Manchester City at the top of the table. However, Everton had other ideas and produced a spirited performance to earn a famous victory.
The only goal of the game came in the first half, when Seamus Coleman headed home from a corner. Liverpool dominated possession but were unable to find a way back into the game, with Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford making several crucial saves.
The defeat leaves Liverpool six points behind Manchester City with just six games remaining in the season. With such a narrow gap to close, it now seems highly unlikely that they will be able to catch the leaders.
For Everton, the win was a much-needed boost in their bid to avoid relegation. They are now six points clear of the drop zone with four games remaining.
