EVERTON OUT TO MAKE UP FOR FREAK ANFIELD GOAL, WARNS SIGURDSSON

- DAVID KENT

GYLFI SIGURDSSON says Everton have extra motivation to dent Liverpool’s title challenge in the Merseyside derby on Sunday after the bizarre goal that led to a painful defeat in their last meeting. Divock Origi scored in the 96th minute of added time at Anfield in December after Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford mishandled a sliced Virgil Van Dijk shot that had ballooned high up into the air. ‘To lose a derby game like that, being so close to a good point away from home, was very disappoint­ing,’ said Sigurdsson. ‘These are the games you are looking forward to before the season starts.’
