Liverpool's Premier League title hopes are in tatters after a disastrous 2-0 Merseyside Derby defeat to Everton at Goodison Park
Former Arsenal midfielder Paul Merson has slammed Liverpool after their defeat to Everton in the Premier League.
Mohamed Salah missed a golden opportunity to equalise just before the break and would be punished in the second half. Calvert-Lewin's bullet header from a corner doubled the Toffees' advantage and would ultimately secure the bragging rights.The result leaves Liverpool three points behind leaders Arsenal but that gap could grow to five points if Manchester City win both their games in hand over Jurgen Klopp's side.
He then tweeted: "Liverpool have threw in the towel." The Reds' title hopes are certainly slim considering the return to form of the Gunners and Pep Guardiola's men's imperious form.
