Van Dijk Wins Merseyside Derby

In a historic and chaotic Merseyside derby, Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk rose to meet a late corner, silencing the Everton faithful in the 10th minute of stoppage time.

Mohamed Salah had given Liverpool the lead before Beto equalized for the Toffees, setting the stage for the late drama.

The match was overshadowed by a serious injury to Liverpool goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, who was stretchered off and taken to the hospital.

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