Richarlisson y Sigurdsson (de
penalti) dieron a los ‘Toffees’ su primera victoria en Anfield desde 1999
Cuarta derrota seguida de los
‘reds’ en el campeonato por cuarta vez en su historia
El Everton rompió este sábado
su maleficio en el derbi de Merseyside al ganar en Anfield por primera vez en
Premier desde 1999 y agravó el calvario de su eterno rival ciudadano, el
Liverpool (0-2). Además por tercera vez en su historia el equipo ‘red’ encadenó
4 derrotas consecutivas en el campeonato inglés. Carlo Ancelotti le ganó la
partida a Jürgen Klopp. Richarlison y Sigursson de penalti decidieron.
Pese a que venía de ganar por
0-2 al Leipzig en la ida de octavos de Champions en Budapest, todos los
fantasmas del Liverpool reaparecieron ante el Everton. Al campeón de la Premier
se le complicó muy pronto la tarde, ya que fue en el minuto 3 cuando
Richarlison culminó una gran asistencia de James Rodríguez y avanzó a los
‘Toffees’. El brasileño fue uno de los protagonistas en el 2-2 del 17 de
octubre en Goodison Park porque una entrada suya lesionó a Thiago Alcántara,
que no pudo reaparecer hasta el 30 de diciembre. 6 de 8
A partir de ahí, el Liverpool
buscó incansablemente darle la vuelta al partido, pero fue en vano. Jordan
Pickford (en Goodison Park autor de la entrada que lesionó a Virgil van Dijk)
lo impidió con 4 buenas intervenciones y además el planteamiento de Carlo
Ancelotti se lo puso muy difícil a los ‘reds’. Un planteamiento que bordaron
sus jugadores, que supieron contener al Liverpool y aprovechar sus
oportunidades.
No solo eso: el maleficio de
las lesiones sigue persiguiendo al Liverpool y esta vez la víctima fue su
capitán, Jordan Henderson, a quien tuvo que sustituir Nat Phillips en el minuto
30. El alcance de la dolencia se desconoce.
Tras el descanso el Liverpool
salió en tromba y con mucho mejor juego que en la primera parte. Sadio Mané y,
en sus subidas, Trent Alexander-Arnold fueron los que crearon más peligro. Pero
Pickford y su zaga se mantuvieron firmes. Nada le salió bien al campeón de la
Premier para evitar esa cuarta derrota seguida en el torneo, en el que está a
16 puntos del líder, el Manchester City de Pep Guardiola (que visita este
domingo al Arsenal).
Para colmo, tras un pase de un
gran Richarlison (que en varias ocasiones le ganó las espaldas a Ozan Kabak) a
Dominic Calvert-Lewin, este fue objeto de un penalti por parte de
Alexander-Arnold. Gylfi Sigurdsson lo convirtió en el 0-2, redondeando la
fiesta del Everton en Anfield. Los ‘reds’ son sextos, a 3 puntos del Chelsea y
de la Champions. Los ‘Toffees’, séptimos, con los mismos.
