‘World class’, ‘Immense’ – Everton Super Fans pick MOTM from historic Liverpool win
Everton claimed a famous victory at Anfield on Saturday evening with everyone wearing Blue turning in an excellent performance.
Richarlison opened the scoring before a Gylfi Sigurdsson penalty settled the game in the late stages as we drew level on points with our city rivals.
We hadn’t won at Anfield since 1999 before Saturday as Carlo Ancelotti secured perhaps his most important victory as Everton boss.
Yes, it was an injury-stricken Liverpool but Mo Salah and Sadio Mane still failed to breach our faultless defence.
The players withstood the pressure applied by the Reds and the quality of our players shone through.
James Rodriguez showed his class to pick out Richarlison as the Brazilian set the tone for the game with his early strike.
It was a seriously impressive performance and there are plenty of players who deserve the man of the match award.
Here is who our panel of Everton Super Fans picked as their man of the match from the historic win against Liverpool.

Jordan Pickford is a worthy winner of the man of the match award given the context of the last derby.
Our keeper took so much abuse from Liverpool fans after he accidentally injured Virgil van Dijk and he well and truly shut them up with a sensational performance at Anfield
Michael Keane also deserves a load of credit for his dominating performance.
He has been brilliant all season and he stood up when it mattered to secure us a famous win.
On this occasion, it would be appropriate to award the entire team with the man of the match award but since we can’t do that, well done Pickford.
