Embarrassing Everton stat emerges from latest Liverpool Champions League win – Blues will be ashamed

Posted by

Duncan Alexander noted that Liverpool’s latest Champions League victory means that the Reds have officially won more games in the competition this term than Everton have wins in the Premier League.

The Opta Analyst writer shared the update in a tweet online after the Reds secured a 2-0 result in the opening leg of their semi-final against Villarreal.

Goals from Sadio Mane and Pervis Estupinan (own goal following deflected Jordan Henderson strike) ensured that the hosts have a solid lead to take to Spain for the next leg.
