Everton were beaten at Anfield yesterday, but Marco Silva’s side still managed to impress.

Jamie Carragher has told Sky Sports, during their live coverage of Everton’s match against Liverpool, that he cannot remember an Everton team causing Liverpool so many problems in 20 years as they did yesterday.

Everton failed to score at Anfield, but it was not for the want of trying.

The Toffees missed some highly presentable opportunities, with Yerry Mina, Andre Gomes and Theo Walcott all particularly guilty of spurning good openings.

But Carragher felt that there was reason for Everton fans to be encouraged, even if their side fell to yet another defeat at Anfield.

“I can’t remember in the last 20 years and Everton team causing Liverpool so many problems going forward and creating chances,” Carragher said.

“Everton going forward have been fantastic.”

Everton ultimately fell to a 1-0 defeat against Liverpool in bizarre circumstances, as they were undone late on.

Virgil van Dijk totally mishit a volley which looped up in the air, but Jordan Pickford failed to deal with it, and allowed Divock Origi to head home from close range.

It was a cruel twist for Everton at the end of a match where they had caused plenty of problems to their local rivals.

Everton are next in action in midweek, when they take on Newcastle United at Goodison Park.
