On Saturday, there will be nine matches of the 26th round in the English Premier League. One match has already ended - the intriguing Liverpool club derby between the rivals Liverpool and Everton at Anfield stadium ended peacefully 0-0.
"Liverpool" controlled the ball throughout the match and already scored a goal at the beginning of the match - Craig Bellamy played a wall pass with Dirk Kuyt on the left side and sent the ball to Tim Howard's goal, but the linesman flagged offside. The American goalkeeper had trouble a little earlier, but somehow managed to repel a dangerous shot from Peter Crouch from about 7 meters.
However, it was difficult for the hosts to find gaps in the confused and cohesive defense of "Everton". However, in the 30th minute Xabi Alonso forced all Liverpool fans to hold their breath, hitting the crossbar with a powerful shot from 25 meters.
Interestingly, the best chance to score a goal in the match belonged not to the hosts, but to the visitors - in the 59th minute, after a precise pass from Joleon Lescott, Andrew Johnson deceived the defender and was practically left alone against Jose Reina, but the goalkeeper managed to deflect far from the best shot in his English career with his foot.
As the match was ending, the "Reds" desperately tried several times to snatch three points, but all their efforts were in vain - both Liverpool clubs shared a point each.
