Conor Coady admitted his calculated gamble backfired spectacularly during Everton’s 2-0 defeat at Liverpool.
The Toffees made the trip to face their neighbours off the back of a positive start to Sean Dyche’s reign after beating Arsenal last week. And they would have fancied their chances against a struggling Liverpool side who hadn’t won a Premier League game in 2023.
However, goals from Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo condemned Everton to a defeat which means they remain mired in the relegation zone. It was a deeply frustrating night for the visitors who made two crucial errors leading to goals.
