Jürgen Klopp apologised for Liverpool’s first Merseyside derby defeat at Everton in 14 years and admitted his team need “a crisis” to unfold at Arsenal and Manchester City to remain in the title race.

Liverpool deservedly lost at Goodison Park where Jarrad Branthwaite and Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored to give Sean Dyche’s team three precious points in their fight for Premier League survival.

Everton’s victory leaves Liverpool, who are in talks to appoint Feyenoord’s Arne Slot as their new manager, trailing leaders Arsenal by three points and only one point above City, who have two games in hand.

“To sum up, it was not good enough,” said the Liverpool manager.

Each situation we missed gave Everton momentum even more.

That would be really good.”

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk was scathing over the end-of-season run that has seen Klopp’s team drop points at Manchester United, Everton and at home to Crystal Palace.

“Everyone has to look in the mirror and look at their own performances and ask if they really gave everything and do they really want to win the league?” said van Dijk.
