Merseyside derby
Encyclopedia
The Merseyside derby is the name given to any football match contested between Everton
and Liverpool
football clubs, the two most successful clubs from the city of Liverpool
in England
. It is the longest currently running top-flight derby
in England, having been played at that level every season since 1962–63.
Traditionally, the Merseyside derby was referred to as the friendly derby because of the large number of families who have both Reds and Blues supporters in them. Locally it is known as simply 'the derby', while to distinguish from others the media refers to it as the Merseyside derby.
It is one of the few local derbies that does not enforce total fan segregation. With so many families and friends supporting both clubs, it is not uncommon to see Evertonians and Liverpudlians sitting together during the derby. The 1984 Milk Cup final
at Wembley had the strange sight of almost all sections of the ground being mixed and combined chants of "Merseyside, Merseyside" and "Are you watching Manchester?" Since the mid 1980s however, the rivalry has intensified on and off the field, and since the inception of the Premier League the Merseyside derby has had more red cards than any other game, thus has been referred to as "The most ill-disciplined and explosive fixture in the Premier League".
and very close to each other (less than a mile), with only Stanley Park
separating the two. Everton actually played at Anfield, now Liverpool's ground, before a rent dispute with the ground owners saw Everton relocate to Goodison Park
and the formation of Liverpool F.C. From 1902 to 1932 the two clubs even shared the same matchday programme. Today there are no evident geographical, political, social or religious divides as in other derbies, although for many years a sectarian divide did exist within the city. It is unclear how (if at all) this influenced the support bases of the two clubs and more recent research has indicated that it was more likely to have been a political allegiance that influenced support
. During the 1950s and 1960s Everton were coined as the Catholic club mainly as a result of successful Irish players Tommy Eglington
, Peter Farrell
and Jimmy O'Neill as well as manager Johnny Carey
. This in turn caused Liverpool to be thought of as Protestant club, not signing an Irish Catholic until Ronnie Whelan
in 1979. However, it should be noted that this notional divide was never seen as a basis for supporting a certain side as is the case with Celtic
and Rangers
. In truth both teams have strong support from all denominations as well as many fans from Presbyterian North Wales
and Catholic
Ireland
. Most importantly, the actual clubs themselves did not act to strengthen sectarian divides and in fact both clubs stem from a Methodist origin.
Unlike other local derbies (such as the Bristol, Birmingham and Stoke derbies, where the clubs are separated by long distances across their towns), in Liverpool violence between Evertonians and Liverpudlians is a rarity; however, in the fallout from the Heysel Stadium disaster
, fan relationships became strained, with Everton fans blaming Liverpool hooligans for their subsequent ban from European club competitions. However, relations improved after the Hillsborough disaster
when both sets of fans rallied together, with Evertonians even joining in on the boycott of The Sun
while Everton and Liverpool scarves were intertwined stretching across Stanley Park between Anfield
and Goodison Park
. Recently, after the murder of 11-year-old Rhys Jones
in a gun crime incident in 2007, Liverpool Football Club invited the victim's parents and older brother to Anfield for a Champions League
match. The Z-Cars
theme tune Johnny Todd
, the song to which Everton traditionally run out, was played for the first time ever at Anfield while the victim's family stood on the pitch wearing Everton shirts and scarves. A standing ovation was given before You'll Never Walk Alone
was played.
The city of Liverpool is statistically the most successful football city in England with Everton and Liverpool winning a combined 27 league titles, and there has never been a season without one of either Everton or Liverpool competing in the top flight. Both clubs have rich histories, with Everton being one of the twelve founder members of the Football League. Everton have only been relegated twice and have competed in over 100 seasons of top-flight football, more than any other English club. To date Everton have won 9 League Championships, 5 FA Cup
s and 1 European Cup Winners Cup.
Liverpool have won the European Cup
5 times, more than any other English club, the FA Cup on 7 occasions, the Football League Cup
a record 7 times, and three UEFA Cup
s.
Since 1892 the clubs have appeared almost every year in the Liverpool Senior Cup
, although Liverpool, Everton and Tranmere Rovers only field reserve sides against the likes of Prescot Cables, Southport and Marine. Everton hold 45 titles while Liverpool have won 39.
Matches between Everton/Liverpool and Tranmere Rovers, based in Birkenhead
on the other side of the River Mersey
, are also classed as Merseyside derbies, but Tranmere have never been in the top division, so competitive matches are a rarity. Pre-season friendlies are often played but the dislike between Rovers and the two City of Liverpool Giants stems from purely geographical reasons rather than footballing tradition.
Everton and Liverpool also have affiliated women's teams playing in the Women's Premier League
, although only Everton ladies have won titles in the women's top division.
However, Everton started to emerge as a serious threat to Liverpool's dominance of the domestic scene following the appointment of Howard Kendall
as manager at the start of the 1981–82 season. The first Merseyside derby that Kendall oversaw was at Anfield on 7 November, when his side lost 3–1 to Bob Paisley's
. This saw Liverpool standing seventh in the league and Everton 13th. An identical scoreline followed in the return game at Goodison Park in late March, by which time Liverpool had overcome a dismal start to the season to muscle in on a title race which they eventually won, while Everton were still mid-table.
In 1982–83, the final season of Bob Paisley's management before he retired to make way for Joe Fagan
, Liverpool were champions once again with Everton finishing mid-table, and the most notable of the two derbies occurred in early November when Liverpool triumphed 5–0 at Goodison Park. The return match at Anfield in mid-March brought a goalless draw.
1983–84 was the season when Everton (who won the FA Cup at the end of the campaign) really started to emerge as a serious threat to Liverpool. Though Liverpool won the league title and Everton still couldn't even make the top five, Liverpool needed a replay to see off Everton 1–0 in the League Cup final at Wembley. The Anfield derby in early November saw Liverpool triumph 3–0, while the clash at Goodison Park four months later ended in a 1–1 draw.
The 1984–85 season began with a Merseyside derby in the FA Charity Shield at Wembley, when league champions Liverpool faced FA Cup winners Everton in a game which Everton won 1–0 due to an own goal by Bruce Grobbelaar
. The first league clash came on 20 October 1984, when a 1–0 win for Everton at Anfield saw Howard Kendall's team occupy fourth place in the league and show signs of challenging for the title for the first time in his four seasons in charge, while Liverpool were a lowly 17th and just 2 points outside the relegation zone. Liverpool's final game of the season came on 23 May when they lost 1–0 to Everton (who still had two games left to play) at Goodison Park. Everton had been crowned champions by this stage, while Liverpool had rallied since their terrible start to the season to occupy second place.
1985–86 was perhaps the most exciting season for the fans of both clubs, as Liverpool and Everton battled it out for both the league title and the FA Cup. The first Merseyside derby of the season came at Goodison Park on 21 September 1985 and was won 3–2 by Liverpool, who stood second behind Manchester United while Everton occupied sixth place. Everton triumphed 2–0 in the return match at Anfield five months later, by which time Everton had just taken over from Manchester United as league leaders and Liverpool were eight points behind them in second place. The climax to this exciting campaign came at Wembley Stadium when Liverpool and Everton contested the first all Merseyside FA Cup final on 10 May 1986. An early goal by Gary Lineker
suggested that Everton could gain revenge on Liverpool for beating them to the league title by defeating them in the FA Cup final, but in the second half the tables were turned as a double from Ian Rush
and another goal from Craig Johnston
made Liverpool only the fifth English club to complete the double.
The FA Charity Shield for 1986 was shared between Liverpool and Everton, who drew 1–1 at Wembley, but the first league derby of the season between the two clubs did not happen until late November in a goalless draw at Goodison Park. Both clubs were challenging for the title at this stage alongside Arsenal (leaders), Nottingham Forest and unlikely contenders including Luton Town and Coventry City. The League Cup quarter final on 21 January 1987 saw Liverpool win 1–0 at Goodison Park. The Anfield derby in late April saw Liverpool triumph 3–1, but it wasn't enough to prevent Everton from winning the title within the next couple of weeks.
The 1986–87 season was perhaps the last time that Everton overshadowed Liverpool, though they did come close in 1989 when the two sides met at Wembley for the second all Merseyside FA Cup final in four seasons. The match went into extra time before Liverpool triumphed 3–2, with Ian Rush
(twice) and John Aldridge
scoring for Liverpool and both of Everton's goals coming from Stuart McCall
.
In the 1988-89 season
, Everton were Liverpool's first opponents in a competitive game after the Hillsborough disaster
on 15 April 1989, which resulted in the deaths of 96 Liverpool fans at the FA Cup
semi-final. The game between the two sides was a league fixture on 3 May which ended in a goalless draw.
By 1990–91, Everton were no longer generally considering as a leading English playing side (finishing ninth that season having started the season near the foot of the table), while Liverpool finished second in the league, but the campaign still brought one of the most pulsating clashes between the two clubs. Liverpool and Everton were drawn for the FA Cup fifth round at Anfield on 17 February 1991. The match ended in a goalless draw, and the replay three days later ended in a thrilling 4–4 draw at Goodison Park, in which Peter Beardsley
scored twice. 1990–91 was Kenny Dalglish's last season as Liverpool manager, as he resigned two days after the 4–4 draw with Everton. It was also the last season of "replays of replays" as penalties after extra time took over as the competition's ultimate tie winner decider for the 1991–92 season. The second replay ended with a 1–0 win for Everton on 27 February, and ended Liverpool's double hopes.
The close season of 1991 saw Peter Beardsley
move from Liverpool to Everton, followed within a year by defender Gary Ablett, causing more tension in the City of Liverpool derby, though the first couple of years after their transfers saw Liverpool and Everton firmly overtaken by Manchester United and the likes of Blackburn Rovers and Arsenal as the biggest challengers in English football. On 7 December 1992, Everton defeated Liverpool 2–1 at Goodison Park in a game where Peter Beardsley became only the second man in history to score for both clubs in the Merseyside derby.
The 1993–94 Merseyside derby at Anfield saw Liverpool defeat Everton 2–1, not having much effect for a mid-table Liverpool side but increasing the risk of relegation (a battle which was ultimately won) for Everton. Perhaps the most notable event of this game was the winning goal by Robbie Fowler
, who turned 19 the following month and was one of the most promising young players in England at the time.
The next notable Merseyside derby came on 18 October 1997, when Everton triumphed 2–0 at Goodison in a victory that ultimately saved them from relegation (they only stayed up by having a greater goal difference than Bolton Wanderers) and helped end Liverpool's title bid.
The 2000–01 season saw one of the most exciting derbies of the Premier League era. Liverpool having won the first derby at Anfield, completed the double with a thrilling 3–2 victory over Everton at Goodison in April, with the injury-time winner by Gary McAllister
proving to be crucial at the end of the season in helping Liverpool qualify for the Champions League for the first time.
By the end of the 2001–02, Liverpool had finished above Everton in the league for 15 seasons in succession, but 2002–03 saw Everton showing signs of eclipsing them for the first time in years. After a brilliant run of form saw Liverpool top the Premier League in October, an 11-match winless league run followed their 2–0 home win over West Ham United in early November and during that barren spell they drew 0–0 at home to an Everton side who were actually above them and looking like qualifying for Europe after several seasons of persistent relegation battles. However, they were on course for their fifth place finish when they next met Everton on 19 April and won 2–1 at Goodison Park, a result which pushed their neighbours towards seventh place and narrowly deprive them of European football.
In 2004–05, Everton finished fourth in the league and Liverpool came fifth – the first time since Everton's 1987 title win that Liverpool had finished below them. In a season which saw Liverpool win the UEFA Champions League
, Everton gave their neighbours a reminder of how far they had progressed under the management of David Moyes
with a 1–0 win at Goodison Park
on 11 December 2004, though Liverpool won the return match at Anfield 2–1 three months later.
Everton had a setback and finished mid-table in 2005–06, while Liverpool's compensation for their prolonged title wait came in the form of a narrow FA Cup final triumph. And Liverpool triumphed 3–1 in both of the Merseyside derbies that season, giving their neighbours a reminder that they still had some way to go before they could have any real claim to being the stronger of the two Liverpool teams.
In 2006–07, Everton recovered to finish in the top six, while Liverpool finished in the top four, and there was an early season triumph for the blue half of Liverpool as Everton crushed Liverpool 3–0 at Goodison Park in early September. They also held them to a goalless draw at Anfield in early February and helped hold them behind pace setters Manchester United and Chelsea.
Liverpool did the double over Everton in 2007–08, however the meeting at Goodison Park was shrouded in controversy when referee Mark Clattenburg awarded Liverpool a penalty after a coming together between Liverpool's Steven Gerrard and Everton's Tony Hibbert resulted in a penalty for Liverpool and a sending off for Hibbert when most pundits felt a caution would have been sufficient. Everton dominated the game after going behind but were denied what seemed to be two clear penalties in the closing stages of the game when Jolean Lescott was twice wrestled to the ground by Jamie Caragher at Everton corners. The victory helped secure a top four finish and Champions League qualification for Liverpool, leaving Everton to settle for a UEFA Cup place.
In the 2008–09 season Liverpool and Everton met four times, Liverpool winning the League encounter at Goodison Park 2–0 while drawing the other League fixture that dealt a severe blow to their title ambitions. The FA Cup saw Everton defeat 10-man Liverpool in extra time in the replay thanks to an injury-time winner by Dan Gosling after a 1–1 draw at Anfield. That season both teams were a major force as Liverpool challenged for the title while Everton came close to qualifying for the Champions League while they did progress to the FA Cup final where they were beaten by Chelsea.
When the sides met in the 2009–10
season, both clubs were suffering from a disastrous start to the season. both games followed similar patterns with Everton enjoying the greater possession and creating more chances in the games but it was Liverpool who scored the goals in a 2–0 victory at Goodison Park and 1–0 at Anfield thanks to a goal from Dirk Kuyt
.
In the Goodison Park encounter on 17 October 2010 in the 2010–11
season, Everton secured what many pundits regarded as their most comfortable derby victory for over forty years in winning 2–0 with goals from Tim Cahill
and Mikel Arteta
in a game where the scoreline did little to reflect their dominance.
When the sides met in January 2011 there were four goals and the final score was 2–2. Their most recent meeting took place on October 1st, 2011, with Liverpool winning 2-0 (goals from Andy Carroll
and Luis Suárez
) against an Everton side depleted by Jack Rodwell
's early, controversial red card, subsequently rescinded by the FA.
Up to and including 1 Oct 2011. statistics obtained from Soccerbase
The following are records just for the Merseyside derby itself:
The following have scored 4 or more league goals in the Merseyside Derby. This includes FA Premier League
matches, its predecessor the Football League First Division
, FA Cup
, League Cup
and Charity Shield. The Screen Sport Super Cup goals are also included for Rush and Sharp, although this was a competition which was not high on Liverpool or Everton's agenda. This list is up to and including 16 Jan 2011.
Current scorers: With his goal in the game at Anfield, 16 January 2011, Liverpool's Dirk Kuyt
joined Everton's Tim Cahill
as joint-leading scorer in the league (with 5 goals each) of players currently playing for either team. Other current players with derby goals to their credit are Liverpool's Steven Gerrard
(who has scored 5 overall, one coming in the FA Cup
), Luis Suárez
and Andy Carroll
, and Everton's Sylvain Distin
with 1 goal each. Cahill, Kuyt, Suárez and Distin are among a total of 19 non-British (Isles) players from 13 different countries to have scored in the derby (not including own goals, which add 3 countries to the list!) since Liverpool's Jan Molby became the first such player to do so, in 1991 (though Bruce Grobbelaar
was the first non-British Isles player to get on the derby scoresheet with his own-goal in the 1984 Charity Shield).
More goals than years: Liverpool's Fred Howe and Everton's Tommy Lawton bear the curious distinctions of scoring more goals than they actually spent in years in the city of Liverpool. Howe scoring five goals in three years and Lawton four goals in three years.
Hat-tricks: The first derby hat-trick was scored by Everton's Alex "Sandy" Young who got 4 in the 1904 5–1 win at Goodison. Other Evertonians to manage hat-ticks include Parker in 1914 and Dixie Dean
twice, in 1928 and 1931, the last Everton player to net a treble. Liverpool hat-tricks have come from Chambers (1922), Forshaw (1925), Barton (1933), and Howe (4 goals in 1935). Almost 50 years passed before the next derby hat-trick, scored by Ian Rush
, who got 4 in a 5–0 win at Goodison in 1982. Rush also scored 3 in the Super Cup Final first leg in 1986. Curiously, of all the league hat-tricks, only the first (Young's) and so far the last (Rush's) were managed at Goodison: all the others were at Anfield.
Own goals: Sandy Brown's famous own goal in Everton's championship winning 1969–70 season was, amazingly only the second own goal in the history of the fixture, the first having been scored by Balmer (Everton) in 1902. Since then 7 Evertonians have been "credited" with an own-goal, including two in the same match at Anfield in 1972. There have only been 3 Liverpool own goals. Joseph Yobo's unlucky deflection at Goodison in 2009–10 is the most recent of all derby-day own-goals.
Scoring in consecutive matches: Between May and September 1986, Ian Rush scored for Liverpool in 4 consecutive derbies, none of them League games (Cup final, Charity shield and two Super Cup finals). Several players have scored in 3 consecutive games: Hardman (E, 1905–06), Freeman (E, 1909–10), Parkinson (L, 1910–11), King (E, 1978–79), Lineker (E, 1985–86), Barnes (L, 1989–90) and Fowler (L, 1995–96).
Youngest derby goal scorer: Although difficult to verify, since birthdates of early players are not known, the youngest derby goal scorer is probably Everton's Danny Cadamarteri
who scored the winner at Goodison 6 days after his 18th birthday, in October 1997.

It is often mistakenly claimed that Dave Hickson
is the only player to have played for "all three Merseyside clubs". In fact he is the third player, along with John Heydon and Frank Mitchell, to have
played for all three Merseyside league clubs still in existence. But we should not forget New Brighton
, Football league members from 1923–51, for whom Bill Lacey and Neil McBain
played, both having also played for Everton and Liverpool. And to complete a list of six players who have played for three different Merseyside clubs, John Whitehead
also played for Bootle
in their one year as a league team (1892–93), before they were replaced in Division 2 by local rivals Liverpool FC.

final which Liverpool won 1–0 in 1893. However this was an amateur match and is not counted in either club's records as an official Merseyside derby.
The first ever League meeting was in the 1894–95 season when Everton won 3–0 at Goodison Park
, it was only at Liverpool's sixth attempt that they beat Everton with a 3–1 win in 1897–98 at Anfield
.
The FA Cup 5th Round tie, on the 11 March 1967 at Goodison Park, was watched by 64,318 fans, and a further 40,169 at Anfield on giant screen, making a total of 104,487. Everton won 1–0, with Alan Ball scoring the winner.
The 1966 Charity Shield saw Everton play Liverpool at Goodison Park with the latter winning 1–0. Before kick off, the League Championship which had been won by Liverpool was paraded around the pitch along with the FA Cup which Everton had won. Liverpool's Roger Hunt
and Everton's Ray Wilson both World Cup
winners carried the Jules Rimet Trophy around the field for a lap of honour.
The first meeting between the two sides at Wembley Stadium came in the final of the 1984 League Cup
with Liverpool eventually winning a replay (at Maine Road
, Manchester
) after the first tie at Wembley was drawn.
Later that year the clubs met again at Wembley Stadium in the FA Charity Shield. Everton emerged as the victors thanks to a Bruce Grobbelaar
own goal.
The 1986 and 1989 FA Cup
finals are still the only Merseyside derby finals in the competition to date with Liverpool victorious on both occasions, 3–1 and 3–2 (AET) respectively.
On 23 April 1977 the two sides met in the semi-final of the FA Cup at Maine Road, Manchester. Although Liverpool took the lead twice, Everton fought back twice, and appeared to have scored
a winner when, with three minutes to go, Bryan Hamilton
turned in a cross from Ronnie Goodlass, only to see the goal chalked off by referee Clive Thomas.
6 November 1982 saw Liverpool defeat Everton 5–0 at Goodison Park with Ian Rush
scoring 4 of the goals.
March 1988 Liverpool were unbeaten in 29 league games from the start of the season (then a joint record) when a Wayne Clarke
goal helped Everton win 1–0 at Goodison.
On 20 February 1991, an epic 4–4 FA Cup replay saw Everton come from behind 4 times. It is generally regarded as one of the greatest Merseyside derbies ever. Liverpool's manager Kenny Dalglish
subsequently resigned, with Everton winning the second replay the following week.
The first derby of the new millennium at Goodison, April 21, 2000 ended controversially. With the score 0–0, in the dying seconds Liverpool goalie Sander Westerveldt went to clear the ball upfield, but it hit Everton's Don Hutchinson in the back and rebounded over the goal-line. Referee Graham Poll
disallowed the goal, claiming that he had already blown for time, although TV replays showed this was not the case. Ten years later, in his autobiography, the referee admitted that he should have given the goal, and apologised to Everton fans.
On 18 April 2001 Liverpool won an epic 3–2 league derby at Goodison Park
. Liverpool went 1–0 up after 5 minutes through Emile Heskey
but Duncan Ferguson made it level just before half time. In the 57th minute Markus Babbel
put Liverpool back in the lead. Robbie Fowler
then missed a penalty before a David Unsworth
penalty squared it up again. Liverpool then had Igor Biscan
sent off. As the match appeared to be heading for a draw in the 93rd minute Gary McAllister
measured a 44-yard free kick into the net to win the game. Following this crucial goal Liverpool remained unbeaten for their remaining 9 games and qualified for Champions League by 1 point, and won the FA Cup
and UEFA Cup
enroute.
The 2006 Goodison Park derby saw Everton beating Liverpool 3–0, scoring three goals for the first time in a league derby since 1966, and the first time at Goodison since 1904 with goals from Tim Cahill
and a double from (then) club record signing Andy Johnson. This was only Everton's second win over Liverpool in seven years and took them to the top of the Premier League.
In October 2007, Liverpool won a controversial game 2–1 at Goodison, the first goal coming from a hotly disputed penalty which saw Tony Hibbert
sent off. And Everton had a good shout for a penalty when Jamie Carragher
fouled Joleon Lescott
late on in the game. Referee Mark Clattenburg
has not been in charge of any Everton game since that date.
In the February 2009 FA Cup
4th round replay, Liverpool and Everton were drawing 0–0 again and the game went into extra time. Everton's teenage substitute Dan Gosling
managed to break the deadlock with a dramatic winner in the 118th minute. The Toffees managed to reach their first final in 15 years.
Everton
Liverpool
With cup games, replays and so on, the two have often met three or four times a season, but in the 1986–87 season they played each other six times: starting with a 1–1 draw at Wembley in the Charity Shield, there were the two league games, the two-legged Screen Sport Super Cup Final (held over from the previous season), and a League Cup 5th round tie. Despite the fact that Everton finished the season as champions, they couldn't beat Liverpool that year, with 4 losses and 2 draws. A combined total of 281,356 spectators saw the six matches. The following season they met a further four times, being paired in both cups: honours were even with 2 wins each.
Liverpool have achieved the most Premier League doubles over their Merseyside rivals Everton – they have done it 3 times in the last 10 years. Everton have yet to do the double over Liverpool in the Premier League – their last league double over Liverpool was in 1985 where they won at Goodison (1–0) and Anfield (1–0) to complete a treble for that season, having also won at Wembley in the Charity Shield.

Modern-day derbies
During the 1960s Liverpool and Everton were regular winners of domestic trophies, but while Liverpool went from strength to strength in the 1970s and 1980s, Everton went through a relatively barren spell after their 1970 title triumph and did not win a major trophy for the next 14 years.However, Everton started to emerge as a serious threat to Liverpool's dominance of the domestic scene following the appointment of Howard Kendall

1983–84 was the season when Everton (who won the FA Cup at the end of the campaign) really started to emerge as a serious threat to Liverpool. Though Liverpool won the league title and Everton still couldn't even make the top five, Liverpool needed a replay to see off Everton 1–0 in the League Cup final at Wembley. The Anfield derby in early November saw Liverpool triumph 3–0, while the clash at Goodison Park four months later ended in a 1–1 draw.

. The first league clash came on 20 October 1984, when a 1–0 win for Everton at Anfield saw Howard Kendall's team occupy fourth place in the league and show signs of challenging for the title for the first time in his four seasons in charge, while Liverpool were a lowly 17th and just 2 points outside the relegation zone. Liverpool's final game of the season came on 23 May when they lost 1–0 to Everton (who still had two games left to play) at Goodison Park. Everton had been crowned champions by this stage, while Liverpool had rallied since their terrible start to the season to occupy second place.
1985–86 was perhaps the most exciting season for the fans of both clubs, as Liverpool and Everton battled it out for both the league title and the FA Cup. The first Merseyside derby of the season came at Goodison Park on 21 September 1985 and was won 3–2 by Liverpool, who stood second behind Manchester United while Everton occupied sixth place. Everton triumphed 2–0 in the return match at Anfield five months later, by which time Everton had just taken over from Manchester United as league leaders and Liverpool were eight points behind them in second place.

The FA Charity Shield for 1986 was shared between Liverpool and Everton, who drew 1–1 at Wembley, but the first league derby of the season between the two clubs did not happen until late November in a goalless draw at Goodison Park. Both clubs were challenging for the title at this stage alongside Arsenal (leaders), Nottingham Forest and unlikely contenders including Luton Town and Coventry City. The League Cup quarter final on 21 January 1987 saw Liverpool win 1–0 at Goodison Park. The Anfield derby in late April saw Liverpool triumph 3–1, but it wasn't enough to prevent Everton from winning the title within the next couple of weeks.
The 1986–87 season was perhaps the last time that Everton overshadowed Liverpool, though they did come close in 1989 when the two sides met at Wembley for the second all Merseyside FA Cup final in four seasons. The match went into extra time before Liverpool triumphed 3–2, with Ian Rush

semi-final. The game between the two sides was a league fixture on 3 May which ended in a goalless draw.
By 1990–91, Everton were no longer generally considering as a leading English playing side (finishing ninth that season having started the season near the foot of the table), while Liverpool finished second in the league, but the campaign still brought one of the most pulsating clashes between the two clubs. Liverpool and Everton were drawn for the FA Cup fifth round at Anfield on 17 February 1991. The match ended in a goalless draw, and the replay three days later ended in a thrilling 4–4 draw at Goodison Park, in which Peter Beardsley

move from Liverpool to Everton, followed within a year by defender Gary Ablett, causing more tension in the City of Liverpool derby, though the first couple of years after their transfers saw Liverpool and Everton firmly overtaken by Manchester United and the likes of Blackburn Rovers and Arsenal as the biggest challengers in English football. On 7 December 1992, Everton defeated Liverpool 2–1 at Goodison Park in a game where Peter Beardsley became only the second man in history to score for both clubs in the Merseyside derby.
The 1993–94 Merseyside derby at Anfield saw Liverpool defeat Everton 2–1, not having much effect for a mid-table Liverpool side but increasing the risk of relegation (a battle which was ultimately won) for Everton. Perhaps the most notable event of this game was the winning goal by Robbie Fowler

The next notable Merseyside derby came on 18 October 1997, when Everton triumphed 2–0 at Goodison in a victory that ultimately saved them from relegation (they only stayed up by having a greater goal difference than Bolton Wanderers) and helped end Liverpool's title bid.

proving to be crucial at the end of the season in helping Liverpool qualify for the Champions League for the first time.
By the end of the 2001–02, Liverpool had finished above Everton in the league for 15 seasons in succession, but 2002–03 saw Everton showing signs of eclipsing them for the first time in years. After a brilliant run of form saw Liverpool top the Premier League in October, an 11-match winless league run followed their 2–0 home win over West Ham United in early November and during that barren spell they drew 0–0 at home to an Everton side who were actually above them and looking like qualifying for Europe after several seasons of persistent relegation battles. However, they were on course for their fifth place finish when they next met Everton on 19 April and won 2–1 at Goodison Park, a result which pushed their neighbours towards seventh place and narrowly deprive them of European football.
In 2004–05, Everton finished fourth in the league and Liverpool came fifth – the first time since Everton's 1987 title win that Liverpool had finished below them. In a season which saw Liverpool win the UEFA Champions League

on 11 December 2004, though Liverpool won the return match at Anfield 2–1 three months later.
Everton had a setback and finished mid-table in 2005–06, while Liverpool's compensation for their prolonged title wait came in the form of a narrow FA Cup final triumph. And Liverpool triumphed 3–1 in both of the Merseyside derbies that season, giving their neighbours a reminder that they still had some way to go before they could have any real claim to being the stronger of the two Liverpool teams.
In 2006–07, Everton recovered to finish in the top six, while Liverpool finished in the top four, and there was an early season triumph for the blue half of Liverpool as Everton crushed Liverpool 3–0 at Goodison Park in early September. They also held them to a goalless draw at Anfield in early February and helped hold them behind pace setters Manchester United and Chelsea.
Liverpool did the double over Everton in 2007–08, however the meeting at Goodison Park was shrouded in controversy when referee Mark Clattenburg awarded Liverpool a penalty after a coming together between Liverpool's Steven Gerrard and Everton's Tony Hibbert resulted in a penalty for Liverpool and a sending off for Hibbert when most pundits felt a caution would have been sufficient. Everton dominated the game after going behind but were denied what seemed to be two clear penalties in the closing stages of the game when Jolean Lescott was twice wrestled to the ground by Jamie Caragher at Everton corners. The victory helped secure a top four finish and Champions League qualification for Liverpool, leaving Everton to settle for a UEFA Cup place.
In the 2008–09 season Liverpool and Everton met four times, Liverpool winning the League encounter at Goodison Park 2–0 while drawing the other League fixture that dealt a severe blow to their title ambitions. The FA Cup saw Everton defeat 10-man Liverpool in extra time in the replay thanks to an injury-time winner by Dan Gosling after a 1–1 draw at Anfield. That season both teams were a major force as Liverpool challenged for the title while Everton came close to qualifying for the Champions League while they did progress to the FA Cup final where they were beaten by Chelsea.

More goals than years: Liverpool's Fred Howe and Everton's Tommy Lawton bear the curious distinctions of scoring more goals than they actually spent in years in the city of Liverpool. Howe scoring five goals in three years and Lawton four goals in three years.

Ian Rush
Ian James Rush, MBE, is a retired football player from Flint, Wales. He is best remembered as a player for Liverpool, where he was among the top strikers in the English game in the 1980s and 1990s. He also had spells playing at Chester City, Juventus, Leeds United, Newcastle United, Sheffield...
, who got 4 in a 5–0 win at Goodison in 1982. Rush also scored 3 in the Super Cup Final first leg in 1986. Curiously, of all the league hat-tricks, only the first (Young's) and so far the last (Rush's) were managed at Goodison: all the others were at Anfield.
Own goals: Sandy Brown's famous own goal in Everton's championship winning 1969–70 season was, amazingly only the second own goal in the history of the fixture, the first having been scored by Balmer (Everton) in 1902. Since then 7 Evertonians have been "credited" with an own-goal, including two in the same match at Anfield in 1972. There have only been 3 Liverpool own goals. Joseph Yobo's unlucky deflection at Goodison in 2009–10 is the most recent of all derby-day own-goals.
Scoring in consecutive matches: Between May and September 1986, Ian Rush scored for Liverpool in 4 consecutive derbies, none of them League games (Cup final, Charity shield and two Super Cup finals). Several players have scored in 3 consecutive games: Hardman (E, 1905–06), Freeman (E, 1909–10), Parkinson (L, 1910–11), King (E, 1978–79), Lineker (E, 1985–86), Barnes (L, 1989–90) and Fowler (L, 1995–96).
Youngest derby goal scorer: Although difficult to verify, since birthdates of early players are not known, the youngest derby goal scorer is probably Everton's Danny Cadamarteri

With cup games, replays and so on, the two have often met three or four times a season, but in the 1986–87 season they played each other six times: starting with a 1–1 draw at Wembley in the Charity Shield, there were the two league games, the two-legged Screen Sport Super Cup Final (held over from the previous season), and a League Cup 5th round tie. Despite the fact that Everton finished the season as champions, they couldn't beat Liverpool that year, with 4 losses and 2 draws. A combined total of 281,356 spectators saw the six matches. The following season they met a further four times, being paired in both cups: honours were even with 2 wins each.
Liverpool have achieved the most Premier League doubles over their Merseyside rivals Everton – they have done it 3 times in the last 10 years. Everton have yet to do the double over Liverpool in the Premier League – their last league double over Liverpool was in 1985 where they won at Goodison (1–0) and Anfield (1–0) to complete a treble for that season, having also won at Wembley in the Charity Shield.
