Three memorable matches of Everton

Everton has been struggling in the Premier League this season. Against Newcastle, they scored two good goals in the first half, but then conceded three goals in the second to waste the brilliant opportunity to get three important points although their most recent victory against Chelsea was very promising. That victory should give them a boost for their next visit to the London Stadium to play against West Ham.

1- Everton 2 Chelsea 0 (2016 FA Cup)

This was an important match for Everton who had beaten Bournemouth in the fifth round to be given a difficult draw against Chelsea. The Toffees performed brilliantly to beat their opponents quite easily in the end. RomeluLukaku was the star of the game who single-handedly steered the game away from Chelsea.

The match remained goal-less for the majority of the time, but the action in the last 20 minutes was sufficient to provide a great deal of entertainment to the football fans. Lukaku sparkled proceedings in the 77th minute of the game to play the main role in Everton’s victory. The Belgian striker who was sold by Chelsea to Everton under Jose Mourinho delivered a beautiful finish after surviving challenges from several Chelsea players. Barely 5 minutes later, Lukaku added another with a clinical finish to compound the misery of his former club. In this match, Diego Costa was sent off after picking up his second yellow card while Everton’s Gareth Barry also had to leave the pitch for receiving two yellow cards.

2- Everton 4 Liverpool 4 (1991)

This was a classic FA Cup match between two big rivals of English football. The Anfield encounter had stalemated, so both teams took their fight to Goodison Park in order to qualify for the quarter-finals. The football fans were treated to goals galore at Everton’s home.

Every time Liverpool scored a goal, Everton responded by striking a goal back. When Peter Beardsley got the lead in the first half, Graeme Sharp scored things level in the first minute of the second half. Interestingly, Peter Beardsley struck again with a similar response from Sharp in a matter of minutes. When Ian Rush extended the scoreline, it looked like the match had slipped from Everton’s hands, but Tony Cottee kept Everton’s hopes alive by scoring in the 89th minute of the game. In a bizarre twist of events, Liverpool dealt the 4th blow in the extra time but Cottee found a way to equalize again. This meant that both teams were forced to contest in another replay in which Everton prevailed 1-0 to the huge joy of their fans.

3- Everton 1 Liverpool 0 (2009)

In 2009, Everton and Liverpool met each other in the 4th round of the FA Cup. After the stalemate at Anfield, Goodison Park became the venue of the decider in the replay.

Liverpool suffered two heavy blows during this game. First,  StevenGerrard limped off and later Lucas Leiva saw a red card. Liverpool still defended bravely and was holding on for a penalty shoot-out. They restricted Everton until very late in the extra time but then ran out of steam in the 118th minute of the game. Dan Gosling curled home a clever finish to spark wild celebrations at Goodison Park. This way, a 19-year-old Gosling sent Liverpool packing from the competition.
