It comes as Andy Robertson aimed a brutal relegation dig at Everton after Liverpool’s derby triumph. And Alisson embarrassed Everton counterpart Jordan Pickford after mocking him towards the end of Sunday’s 2-0 win.

Alisson mocks Pickford

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson mocked Everton counterpart Jordan Pickford towards the end of Sunday’s 2-0 win for the Reds.

Andy Robertson headed home unmarked at the far post to give Liverpool the lead on 62 minutes before Divock Origi finished things off with a close-range header five minutes from time to clinch the Merseyside derby for his side. But one of the biggest cheers of the afternoon came in the dying moments when Alisson claimed a ball in the Liverpool box before falling on the floor in an exaggerated fashion – in clear reference to Pickford’s antics while the scores were 0-0.

When interviewed after the game by Sky Sports, Robertson told Everton: “I’ve been in a relegation battle before, so I know what it’s like.”

Barcelona plot Salah swoop

Barca were forced to allow Argentinian maestro Lionel Messi to lave the club last summer as they felt the pinch of a financial crisis which engulfed the club.
