Everton fans poke fun at Liverpool following their defeat by West Bromwich Albion.
Liverpool were sent crashing out of the FA Cup on Saturday – and Everton fans are loving it.
Jurgen Klopp’s side lost 3-2 to relegation-threatened West Bromwich Albion at Anfield in a defeat which means that the Reds are likely to go trophyless this season unless they win the Champions League.
Roberto Firmino fired Liverpool ahead within five minutes but a quickfire double from Jay Rodriguez saw West Brom lead 2-1 just six minutes later.
The Merseyside outfit, who eliminated Everton in the previous round, could and should have levelled up but Firmino sent a penalty against the crossbar, before an own goal from Joel Matip opened up a two-goal cushion for West Brom at the break.
Mo Salah halved the deficit on 78 minutes to give Liverpool a lifeline, but it wasn’t to be and Klopp’s outfit became fourth-round casualties.
Virgil van Dijk, a £75 million January signing, marked his debut for the club with a goal against the Toffees in the previous round, but the big Dutch defender struggled against the Baggies.
Signing the former Southampton man was considered a big step for Liverpool in improving their defence, and Everton supporters have now questioned his impact on the back of conceding three goals.
