Van Dijk wins Merseyside derby

In a historic and heated Merseyside derby, Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk secured all three points with a last-gasp goal in stoppage time.

Mohamed Salah had earlier opened the scoring before Everton found an equalizer through Beto.

The match was marred by injuries, with Liverpool goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili and Everton's Jarrad Branthwaite both forced off.

The result leaves Liverpool seven points clear of their nearest rivals in the race for the final Champions League spot.
