Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk scored a dramatic 100th-minute header to secure a 2-1 Premier League victory over Everton on Sunday. The win marked the first Merseyside derby held at Everton's new Hill Dickinson Stadium.
The 248th edition of the derby appeared to be heading toward a forgettable draw until the tenth minute of 11 minutes of stoppage time. Van Dijk held off James Tarkowski to head home a corner from Dominik Szoboszlai, a routine Liverpool had attempted throughout the afternoon.
The victory boosts Liverpool's push for European qualification and their prospects of leading the team into the Champions League next season. The Reds remain in fifth place with 55 points, moving seven points clear of sixth-placed Chelsea with five games remaining.
