Liverpool were frustrated by Frank Lampard’s determined Everton in a goalless Merseyside derby while City were held to a 1-1 draw at Steven Gerrard’s Aston Villa.
“Rule number one: if you cannot win the derby, don’t lose it. We could have won it today but we could have lost it in a few moments as well,” Klopp said. Chelsea hit back to beat West Ham United 2-1 with goals from substitutes Ben Chilwell and Kai Havertz cancelling out Michail Antonio’s opener. Nunez was denied by the woodwork in the second half as was Luiz Diaz although Everton’s Tom Davies also struck an upright in the opening half of a derby that somehow remained goalless.
And punters deceased.
