LIVERPOOL, England: Liverpool were left a point behind Premier League leaders Manchester City after they were held to a 0-0 draw by Everton in Sunday's Merseyside derby - the fourth draw in six games for Juergen Klopp's side.
"We become the chasers now and all the pressure is on Manchester City," said Liverpool's Scottish full-back Andy Robertson.The result of a typically frantic derby on its own is no cause for alarm for Klopp but the eight-point swing to City since Jan. 30 is a trend they simply have to end.There were few chances for either team, with Liverpool's forward line failing to sparkle and Everton's impressive industry not matched by craft in the final third.
It proved to be a smart move with Liverpool's Gini Wijnaldum having limited impact on the game in a crowded midfield. Everton's approach was to harry and disrupt Liverpool and they did that task well but struggled to create opportunities with Theo Walcott unable to capitalise on a rare opening, screwing his shot wide.
