The Merseyside derby refers to football matches between Everton and Liverpool, the two primary clubs in Liverpool, England. Named after the county of Merseyside, in which Liverpool is located, it is the longest running top-flight bowler hat in England and has been played endlessly since the 1962–63 season. character of the competition is due to the two clubs ‘ home grounds having less than a mile between them and being within sight of each other across Stanley Park, with Everton at Goodison Park and Liverpool at Anfield. [ 1 ] [ 2 ]

The Merseyside bowler hat was traditionally referred to as the “ friendly bowler hat ” because of the large number of families in the city with both Everton and Liverpool supporters, [ 3 ] and it was one of the few that did not enforce total fan segregation. [ 4 ] The 1984 Football League Cup Final at Wembley was nicknamed the “ friendly final ” due to about all sections of the background being mix and supporters of both teams banding together to chant “ Merseyside ”. The 1986 FA Cup Final witnessed similar scenes of solidarity. [ 5 ] Since the mid-1980s, the competition has intensified on and off the field, and has seen more red cards given than any other game since the creation of the Premier League. [ 6 ]

history [edit ]

Everton FC were founded in 1878 [ 7 ] and from 1884 played their family matches at Anfield, which was owned by club chair John Houlding. Several dining table members of Everton were members of the Liberal Party, who were associated with the National Temperance Federation, whilst Houlding was a conservative Party member and a brewer whose occupation interests were diametrically opposed to the temperance campaign. Politics and disputes over money think of that Houlding was increasingly at odds with other members of the Everton board. Friction arose between the memory of an authoritarian ownership structure versus the creation of a more democratic one which closely mapped the sociopolitical separate. The solution was that the Everton directors vacated Anfield in 1892 and purchased a new ground at Goodison Park on the other side of Stanley Park. Houlding responded by creating a raw golf club, Liverpool FC, to use Anfield. The professional football clubs of the 1890s attracted much concern among the public, both on and off the field. The 1867 Reform Act had given what would become football-attending masses the opportunity to vote in the local and national elections. Everton and Liverpool attendances would reach around 10–15,000 in a local authority ward with a population of 23,000. local politicians saw participation in the two football clubs as an opportunity to gain media vulnerability to the local anesthetic electorate. irish roots and religion are besides sometimes considered as theories for the split on the grounds that Houlding was a outstanding Orange Order member, while Everton ‘s fresh chair George Mahon was a rival Liberal Home Rule -advocating MP. Orangemen are strongly Unionist, whereas person favor home rule for Ireland was in prefer of some degree of legal separation of the whole island of Ireland from the UK. The city of Liverpool has more irish blood than any early city in the UK, with the possible exception of Glasgow, and part between Protestant and Catholic groups in Ireland closely matched the division between Unionism and Republicanism in Liverpool. [ 8 ] however, at the time of the rent, James Clement Baxter was the only Catholic among the Everton committee members whereas the perch were Protestants .

The friendly bowler hat [edit ]

There are a number of reasons for the “ friendly bowler hat ” name. first, both of the clubs ‘ base grounds are situated in the union of the city and are very stopping point to each other ( good under a mile ) with only Stanley Park separating them. From 1902 to 1932, the two clubs even shared the lapp match day course of study. today there are no apparent geographic, political, sociable, or religious divides as there are in other derbies, although a sectarian separate did exist within the city for many years. It is ill-defined how, if at all, this influenced the support bases of the two clubs and research conducted in 2013 indicated that it was more likely to have been a political commitment that influenced corroborate. [ 9 ] During the 1950s and 1960s, Everton became known as the Catholic golf club chiefly as a result of successful irish players such as Tommy Eglington, Peter Farrell, and Jimmy O’Neill, angstrom well as director Johnny Carey. This in turn caused Liverpool to be thought of as Protestant club, particularly as they did not sign an irish Catholic player until Ronnie Whelan in 1979. [ 10 ] however, this divide was never seen as a footing for supporting a certain side, as is the case with teams such as Celtic and Rangers. In truth, both teams have strong subscribe from all denominations. Most importantly, the actual club themselves did not act to strengthen sectarian divides, and both stem from Methodist origins. Unlike other local derbies, violence between Everton and Liverpool supporters in Liverpool itself is a rarity. In the fallout from the Heysel Stadium calamity, fan relationships became strained when the actions of Liverpool-supporting hooligans caused both Liverpool and Everton to be banned from european club contest despite no interest from the latter. Relations improved after the Hillsborough catastrophe when both sets of fans rallied together, with Evertonians even joining in on the boycott of The Sun, while Everton and Liverpool scarves were intertwined and stretched across Stanley Park between the two teams ‘ stadiums. After the murder of 11-year-old Evertonian Rhys Jones in 2007, Liverpool invited his parents and older buddy to Anfield for a Champions League match as a sign of regard. The Z-Cars theme tune, to which Everton players traditionally run out, was played for the first clock time always at Anfield while Jones ‘ syndicate stood on the pitch wearing Everton shirts and scarves. A standing ovation was then given before “ You ‘ll Never Walk Alone “ was played. Upon the defense of Liverpool fans related to the Hillsborough disaster in August 2012, Everton hosted Newcastle United at Goodison Park, and the sides were led out by two children wearing Everton and Liverpool shirts with numbers 9 and 6 on the back ; an announcer read out the names of all 96 Hillsborough victims while “ He Ai n’t Heavy, He ‘s My Brother “ played to a standing ovation .

contemporary derbies [edit ]

During the 1960s, Liverpool and Everton were regular winners of domestic trophies, but while Liverpool went from force to force in the 1970s and 1980s, Everton went through a relatively bare spell after their 1970 title gloat and did not win a major trophy for the following 14 years. Everton, however, started to emerge as a serious threat to Liverpool ‘s dominance of the domestic setting following the date of Howard Kendall as coach at the beginning of the 1981–82 season. The first Merseyside bowler hat that Kendall oversaw was at Anfield on 7 November, when his side lost 3–1 to Bob Paisley ‘s. [ 11 ] This saw Liverpool standing seventh in the league and Everton 13th. [ 12 ] An identical scoreline followed in the tax return game at Goodison Park in belated March, by which time Liverpool had overcome a blue originate to the temper to muscle in on a deed slipstream which they finally won, while Everton were still mid-table. [ 13 ]

Key: Everton wins – ■; Liverpool wins – ■; Draws – ■. Historical league game result from the Merseyside bowler hat as of December 2021.Everton wins – ; Liverpool wins – ; Draws – In 1982–83, the final season of Bob Paisley ‘s management before he retired to make way for Joe Fagan, Liverpool were champions once again with Everton finishing mid-table, and the most luminary of the two derbies occurred in early November when Liverpool triumphed 0–5 at Goodison Park. The hark back match at Anfield in mid-march brought a scoreless string. [ 14 ] 1983–84 was the season when Everton ( who won the FA Cup at the end of the campaign ) truly started to emerge as a dangerous menace to Liverpool. Though Liverpool won the league title and Everton still could n’t even make the top five, Liverpool needed a replay to see off Everton 1–0 in the League Cup final examination at Wembley. The Anfield bowler hat in early November saw Liverpool wallow 3–0, while the clash at Goodison Park four months belated ended in a 1–1 pull back. [ 15 ] The 1984–85 season began with a Merseyside bowler hat in the FA Charity Shield at Wembley, when league champions Liverpool faced FA Cup winners Everton in a game which Everton won 1–0 due to an own finish by Bruce Grobbelaar. The first league clash came on 20 October 1984, when a 0–1 win for Everton at Anfield saw Howard Kendall ‘s team busy fourthly place in the league and show signs of challenging for the title for the first time in his four seasons in appoint, while Liverpool were a humble 17th and precisely 2 points outside the relegation zone. [ 16 ] Liverpool ‘s concluding game of the season came on 23 May when they lost 1–0 to Everton ( who inactive had two games left to play ) at Goodison Park. Everton had been crowned champions by this stage, while Liverpool had rallied since their frightful beginning to the season to occupy second gear topographic point. [ 17 ] [ 18 ] 1985–86 was possibly the most excite temper for the fans of both clubs, as Liverpool and Everton battled it out for both the league title and the FA Cup. The first Merseyside bowler hat of the season came at Goodison Park on 21 September 1985 and was won 2–3 by Liverpool, who stood moment behind Manchester United while Everton occupied one-sixth space. [ 19 ] Everton triumphed 0–2 in the recurrence match at Anfield five months late, by which time Everton had fair taken over from Manchester United as league leaders and Liverpool were eight points behind them in second seat. [ 20 ] The culminate to this exciting political campaign came at Wembley Stadium when Liverpool and Everton contested the first base all Merseyside FA Cup final on 10 May 1986. An early goal by Gary Lineker suggested that Everton could gain revenge on Liverpool for beating them to the league claim by defeating them in the FA Cup final examination, but in the second half the tables were turned as a double from Ian Rush and another finish from Craig Johnston made Liverpool lone the fifth English club to complete the double. [ 21 ] The FA Charity Shield for 1986 was shared between Liverpool and Everton, who drew 1–1 at Wembley, but the inaugural league bowler hat of the temper between the two clubs did not happen until late November in a scoreless reap at Goodison Park. Both clubs were challenging for the title at this stage aboard Arsenal ( leaders ), Nottingham Forest and unlikely contenders Luton Town and Coventry City. [ 22 ] The League Cup stern final on 21 January 1987 saw Liverpool win 0–1 at Goodison Park. The Anfield bowler hat in late April saw Liverpool exuberate 3–1, but it was not enough to prevent Everton from winning the title within the adjacent couple of weeks. [ 23 ] The 1986–87 temper was the last time that Everton overshadowed Liverpool until Everton ‘s laterality over their local rivals between 2012 and 2014. In the 1988–89 season, Everton were Liverpool ‘s first opponents in a competitive game after the Hillsborough disaster on 15 April 1989, which resulted in the deaths of 96 Liverpool fans at the FA Cup semi-final. The game between the two sides was a league regular on 3 May which ended in a scoreless string. [ 24 ] On 20 May, the two sides met at Wembley for the second all Merseyside FA Cup final in four seasons. The peer went into extra time before Liverpool triumphed 3–2, with Ian Rush ( twice ) and John Aldridge scoring for Liverpool and both of Everton ‘s goals coming from Stuart McCall. [ 25 ]
Side-by-side comparison of Everton ‘s and Liverpool ‘s final league positions beginning in 1889 By 1990–91, Everton were in something of a slump ( finishing one-ninth that season having started the season near the foot of the table ), while Liverpool finished second gear in the league, but the campaign still brought one of the most pulsate clashes between the two clubs. Liverpool and Everton were drawn for the FA Cup fifth round off at Anfield on 17 February 1991. The match ended in a scoreless draw, and the replay three days late ended in a thrilling 4–4 attract at Goodison Park, in which Peter Beardsley scored twice. 1990–91 was Kenny Dalglish ‘s last season as Liverpool director, as he resigned two days after the 4–4 draw with Everton. It was besides the final season of “ replays of replays ” as penalties after extra time took over as the competition ‘s ultimate tie winner decider for the 1991–92 season. The moment replay ended with a 1–0 win for Everton on 27 February, and ended the Reds double hopes. [ 26 ] The close season of 1991 attend Peter Beardsley motivate from Liverpool to Everton, followed within a year by defender Gary Ablett, causing more latent hostility in the Merseyside bowler hat, though the beginning couple of years after their transfers saw Liverpool and Everton hard overtaken by Manchester United and the likes of Blackburn Rovers and Arsenal as the biggest challengers in English football. On 7 December 1992, Everton defeated Liverpool 2–1 at Goodison Park in a game where Peter Beardsley became alone the second man in history to score for both clubs in the bowler hat. [ 27 ] The 1993–94 bowler hat at Anfield saw Liverpool get the better of Everton 2–1, not having much effect for a mid-table Liverpool english but increasing the risk of relegation ( a battle which was ultimately won ) for Everton. possibly the most luminary event of this game was the winning goal by Robbie Fowler, who turned 19 the following month and was one of the most predict young players in England at the time. [ 28 ] It was the last Merseyside derby Liverpool would win for five years during a period of achiever for Everton in the regular. Joe Royle ‘s appointment as Everton coach in November 1994 following Mike Walker ‘s dismissal began with a 2-0 succeed over Liverpool at Goodison Park which lifted Everton from the penetrate of the postpone and saw Duncan Ferguson score his beginning goal for the club. Royle ‘s team followed it up with an away succeed at Anfield with two goals from Andrei Kanchelskis the follow season. Everton ‘s bowler hat form at Goodison Park, despite the club ‘s travails through most of the decade, was a strong befit in the 1990s, with five victories and no defeats at home in the ten-spot years from February 1991. In 1997-98 Everton triumphed 2–0 at Goodison in a victory that ultimately saved them from relegation ( they only stayed up by having a greater finish remainder than Bolton Wanderers ) and helped end Liverpool ‘s title offer. [ 29 ] The following season Liverpool would end their barren run with a 3–2 victory over Everton at Anfield. [ 30 ] The 2000–01 season saw one of the most excite derbies of the Premier League era. Liverpool, having won the first bowler hat at Anfield, completed the double with a thrilling 2–3 victory over Everton at Goodison in April, with the injury-time winner by Gary McAllister proving to be crucial at the end of the season in helping Liverpool qualify for the UEFA Champions League —which replaced the european Cup in 1992—for the first time. By the goal of the 2001–02, Liverpool had finished above Everton in the league for 15 seasons in sequence. After a brilliant tend of mannequin determine Liverpool top the Premier League in October, an 11-match winless league run followed their 2–0 home winnings over West Ham United in early November and during that barren spell they drew 0–0 at home to an Everton side who were briefly above them in the board after several seasons of haunting relegation battles. however, they were on course for their fifth-place ending when they next met Everton on 19 April and won 1–2 at Goodison Park, a solution which pushed their city neighbours towards seventh space and narrowly deprived them of european football. [ 31 ] In 2004–05, Everton finished one-fourth in the league and Liverpool came fifth, the first time since Everton ‘s 1987 title win that Liverpool had finished below them. In a season which saw Liverpool win the Champions League championship, Everton gave their neighbours a admonisher of how army for the liberation of rwanda they had progressed under the management of David Moyes with a 1–0 win at Goodison Park on 11 December 2004, though Liverpool won the hark back match at Anfield 2–1 three months late. [ 32 ]
Everton had a reverse and finished mid-table in 2005–06, while Liverpool ‘s compensation for their elongated deed expect came in the form of a narrow FA Cup final examination gloat. And Liverpool triumphed 3–1 in both of the Merseyside derbies that temper. In 2006–07, Everton recovered to finish in the top six, while Liverpool finished third, and there was an early season prevail for the blue one-half of Liverpool as Everton beat Liverpool 3–0 at Goodison Park in early September, in a game that saw an uncharacteristic mistake from Liverpool ‘keeper Pepe Reina. They besides held them to a scoreless reap at Anfield in early February. [ 34 ] liverpool did the double over Everton in 2007–08. The beginning meeting of the sides that season saw one of most controversial derbies in holocene memory, with Everton finishing an crabbed plot with 9 men. Everton took a first half lead as Sami Hyypia skewed a left footed clearance into his own goal from a corner. The scoreline was levelled by Dirk Kuyt from the penalty spot after Everton ‘s Tony Hibbert fouled Steven Gerrard in the sphere. Referee Mark Clattenburg earned the anger of the Goodison faithful as Steven Gerrard appeared to persuade him to change his mind in favor of a crimson card after beginning brandishing a yellow. Kuyt was fortunate to escape with a chicken card following a bipedal, forward pass lunge on Phil Neville. Liverpool ‘s imperativeness against the 10 men finally told, as Liverpool were awarded a second punishment when Neville handled a goal bound shoot from bowler hat debutante Lucas Leiva. Neville was dismissed and Everton finished the game two players short-change. Kuyt scored his second base goal of the game from the descry as Liverpool won the game 2–1. The victory helped secure a top-four finish and Champions League qualification for Liverpool, leaving Everton to settle for a UEFA Cup set. [ citation needed ] Referee Clattenburg was not chosen to officiate again at Goodison Park after that match until December 2013, six years belated, and in that period only officiated one Everton game, aside at Aston Villa. In the 2008–09 season, Liverpool and Everton met four times, Liverpool winning the League confrontation at Goodison Park 0–2 while drawing the other League repair that dealt a blow to their deed ambitions. The FA Cup saw Everton defeat ten-man Liverpool in extra time in the replay thanks to an injury-time achiever by Dan Gosling after a 1–1 trace at Anfield. Both teams enjoyed firm campaigns in the Premier League, as Liverpool challenged for the championship and Everton qualified for Europe eat up in fifth station and 9 points adrift of the Champions League places. Everton besides progressed to the 2009 FA Cup Final, but lost to Chelsea, despite taking the lead through a Louis Saha goal after barely 25 seconds – the fastest goal ever in an FA Cup Final. [ 35 ] When the sides met in the 2009–10 season, both clubs were suffering from a poor startle to the season. Liverpool won the first suffer at Goodison Park with a 2–0 victory despite Everton enjoying a greater share of possession for the game, with poor people finish and the heroics of Pepe Reina costing the home english. [ 36 ] The follow game saw 10-man Liverpool win 1–0 following a first-half crimson card for greek centre-half Sotirios Kyrgiakos. The greek ferociously contested a tackle with Fellaini who was fortunate to escape similar punishment having caught the centre-back high on the shin. A lone goal from Kuyt was enough to secure the three points, as the Dutchmen nodded dwelling vigorously from a Steven Gerrard corner. [ 37 ] In the Goodison Park brush on 17 October 2010 in the 2010–11 season, Everton won 2–0 with goals from Tim Cahill and Mikel Arteta, while the return league game at Anfield in January 2011 ended in a 2–2 pull back. This is the most recent winnings for Everton in the bowler hat in all competitions, failing to win in the watch 21 games whilst losing 11 times. In the 2011–12 season, Liverpool and Everton met three times, doubly in the league and once in the FA Cup, with Liverpool winning all three. The first meet took set on 1 October 2011, with Liverpool winning 0–2 in the league at Goodison Park ( goals from Andy Carroll and Luis Suárez ) against an Everton side depleted by Jack Rodwell ‘s early, controversial red tease, which was later rescinded by The Football Association. On 13 March 2012, Liverpool won the Anfield regular 3–0 after a hat-trick by Steven Gerrard, who became the first player to score a hat-trick in the bowler hat since Ian Rush in 1982. [ citation needed ] The third base meet of the temper was the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley on 14 April. Everton took the spark advance through Nikica Jelavić ‘s goal in the inaugural half. Liverpool equalised through a Luis Suárez goal halfway through the second one-half, and Andy Carroll scored the winning goal for Liverpool in the 87th hour. [ 38 ] however, despite Liverpool having success throughout the season against their traditional rivals, Everton finished one place higher than Liverpool at the conclusion of the Premier League season, whilst the Reds finished the season as the winners of the League Cup. In the 2013–14 season, the two sides contested an eventful 3–3 draw at Goodison Park, with the lead changing on three discriminate occasions between both teams. [ 39 ] Later that temper, Liverpool beat Everton 4–0 at Anfield during the begin of an improbable style challenge for the Reds. [ 40 ] The result was replicated in the 2015–16 season, as Liverpool again ran out 4–0 winners in Jürgen Klopp ‘s first experience of the Merseyside bowler hat. [ 41 ] The game was luminary for a Ramiro Funes Mori red menu which saw in-form hitter Divock Origi injured – the Belgian would miss the end of the season. The leave ended a campaign of three consecutive draw in the repair, which was Everton ‘s best streak in the bowler hat for six years. Liverpool won both derbies in Klopp ‘s first full season at the clubhouse, as dominance continued from the Red one-half of Merseyside. Sadio Mané scored an injury time winner at Goodison Park in December 2016, following a Daniel Sturridge left footed shoot that rebounded off the post. [ 42 ] The moment meeting was a more straightforward affair for the Reds, with a 3–1 victory following goals from Mané, Philippe Coutinho and Origi. In the 2017–18 season, Mohamed Salah scored a curled left foot attempt for the Reds, which would go on to win the 2018 FIFA Puskás Award for finish of the year, picking up 38 % of the populace vote. [ 43 ] The match ended in a 1–1 draw, after returning Evertonian Wayne Rooney equalised with a penalty. [ 44 ] In the take after season, Divock Origi would score one of the most memorable goals ever witnessed in a Merseyside bowler hat. With the score scoreless after 90 minutes, Virgil van Dijk volleyed a notional campaign towards finish which skewed off his boot and high gear into the publicize. Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford attempted to catch the ball but missed, as it came second down off the crossbar in front of the waiting Origi, who nodded in the winner in the sixth infinitesimal of add time. [ 45 ] The return game in March 2019 ended in a 0–0 draw at Goodison Park and saw Liverpool move down to second gear target, where they remained until the end of the season. The foremost meet of the following season saw Liverpool, whose Champions league win was some compensation for their failure to secure the Premier League, welcoming a struggling Everton to Anfield. The Reds had surged into an early on spark advance at the top of the Premier League table while the Toffees sat equitable above the relegation zone, which lead to the bowler hat being described as possibly “ the most unbalance merging ” in late years. [ 46 ] Liverpool won the catch 5–2 despite playing a rotate english, and soon after Everton sacked their coach, Marco Silva. [ 47 ] The retort league fastness, which was both sides ‘ first couple in the Premier League since the season had been halted ascribable to the COVID-19 pandemic, was played on 21 June 2020 behind close up doors at Goodison Park, and ended in a scoreless disembowel. In between these two games, on 5 January 2020, a Liverpool team largely made up of reserves and teenagers defeated Everton 1–0 in the third gear round of the FA Cup at Anfield, with the winning goal coming from a curling strike outside of the area, courtesy of 18 year-old Toxteth hold Curtis Jones. [ 48 ] The first meeting of the 2021–22 season saw Everton, with a 100 percentage record after four games, welcome champions Liverpool to Goodison Park. The plot ended in a 2–2 draw after Jordan Henderson ’ s affect to make it 3–2 to Liverpool in second half blockage prison term was ruled out by VAR. [ 49 ] With 23 matches unbeaten in the Merseyside bowler hat, Liverpool set a modern golf club record for highest number of games unbeaten against the like opponent. [ 50 ] The record lasted only until the return plot at Anfield on 20 February 2021, which Everton won 2–0, their first win at Anfield in any rival since 1999. [ 51 ] The get the better of was besides a one-fourth straight home plate get the better of for Liverpool, a run not endured since 1923. [ 52 ] In the 2021–22 temper, goals from Henderson, Mohamed Salah ( two ) and Diogo Jota saw Liverpool record a 4–1 aside win against Everton in the Premier League, the club ‘s biggest winning allowance at Goodison since a 5–0 gain in 1982, as Liverpool became the foremost team in english top-flight history to score at least two goals in 18 consecutive games in all competitions.

Leighton Baines ‘s unlucky deflection at Goodison in 2012–13 is the most recent of all derby-day own goals. Scoring in consecutive matches : Between May and September 1986, Ian Rush scored for Liverpool in four consecutive derbies, none of them league games ( Cup final, Charity Shield and two Super Cup finals ). respective players have scored in three straight games : Hardman ( Everton, 1905–06 ), Freeman ( Everton, 1909–10 ), Parkinson ( Liverpool, 1910–11 ), King ( Everton, 1978–79 ), Lineker ( Everton, 1985–86 ), Barnes ( Liverpool, 1989–90 ) and Fowler ( Liverpool, 1995–96 ). Youngest derby goalscorer : Although unmanageable to verify, since birthdates of early players are not always known, the youngest confirm bowler hat goalscorer is Everton ‘s Danny Cadamarteri, who scored the achiever at Goodison six days after his 18th birthday in October 1997 .

With cup games, replays, and therefore on, the two have often met three or four times a temper, but in the 1986–87 season, they played each other six times : starting with a 1–1 draw at Wembley in the Charity Shield, there were the two league games, the two-legged Screen Sport Super Cup Final ( held over from the previous season ), and a League Cup 5th attack tie.
