Goodison Park united as one on Saturday afternoon as Everton and Liverpool supporters came together to take part in a minute's applause in memory of Olivia Pratt-Korbel.
The nine-year-old was tragically shot and killed when a gunman forced his way into her family's home in Kingsheath Avenue, Dovecot at 10pm on Monday August 22. Olivia's mum, Cheryl, was also injured in the attack.
Olivia's death has coincided with a rise in gun and knife crime in Merseyside in recent weeks, leading to Liverpool supporters' union Spirit of Shankly and Everton's Fans' Forum issuing a joint-statement asking those attending Goodison for this afternoon’s Merseyside derby to take part in a minute's applause after nine minutes of the match while signing 'Merseyside' in unison.
