On Monday, one of the most anticipated games of a normal Premier League season was played: Liverpool vs Everton.
The Merseyside derby tends to be a heated affair regardless of the two clubs’ situations, and this one was extra important for a number of reasons.
Firstly, Liverpool aren’t having the best campaign to date by their standards, and needed a boost, which they got by beating the Toffees 2-0.
Everton, on the other hand, were hoping to use their 1-0 victory over Arsenal to kickstart a good run of games under new manager Sean Dacha, but weren’t able to do so, with the next game against Leeds a far more favourable matchup.
Currently with Lille, the player was asked about his trip by the media, relayed by Le Petit Lillois.
He said: “I went with Lucas, my son. He’d been asking about it for a while. Liverpool are his favourite club. His favourite player is Van Dijk. His father isn’t the favourite. It’s a special game, there’s always that special atmosphere. I’d never been as a fan. So it was a nice experience for me. I can watch a good game, I was able to meet some old friends and the evening went well.”
