Match Report
And just like that, a 14-year wait comes to an end.
Everton hadn't won any of their previous 12 home league games against Liverpool ahead of Wednesday evening, yet, in what turned out a special night at the Grand Old Lady, the Blues downed their neighbours 2-0 with goals from Jarrad Branthwaite and Dominic Calvert-Lewin, subsequently moving eight points clear of the Premier League relegation zone with just four games to play.

Goal hero Calvert-Lewin also maintained his place spearheading the Everton attack after overcoming the slight knock he sustained against Forest.
