Bright lights, smoky atmosphere, charged crowd - everyone loves a bit of European football.
Whether it's the exciting dynamic of playing a team from another country, participating in the type of fixture that is steeped in celebrated nostalgia or the intrigue of strategising a tie over two legs, there's nothing quite like a midweek continental contest at Anfield.
Some of those enjoyable aspects were present when Liverpool faced Everton in the Merseyside Derby on Monday evening. A Kop full of colour following calls for a flag day certainly played its part along with a humming atmosphere against a fierce opponent. The end result was a much-needed 2-0 home win for the Reds - their first in the Premier League since the turn of the year.
