Liverpool's chances of securing a Champions League spot received a significant boost following their victory over Everton in the Merseyside derby. The Reds claimed a thrilling 2-1 win at the Hill Dickinson Stadium on Sunday afternoon, strengthening their push for a top-five finish.

Mohamed Salah broke the deadlock for Liverpool , just two minutes after Iliman Ndiaye had a goal disallowed for Everton for offside.

Everton battled back through a close-range Beto finish to level things up, but Virgil van Dijk had the last word with a stoppage-time header to seal all three points for Liverpool.

The victory keeps Liverpool in fifth place in the Premier League , now seven points clear of sixth-placed Chelsea following their loss to Manchester United the previous day, with five games remaining, reports the Liverpool Echo .
