Everton fans taunted Liverpool supporters suffering a miserable evening at Goodison Park by mocking the Reds for slipping up in the Premier League title race.<br /><br />Shock defeat in the Merseyside derby gives Liverpool a mountain to climb as Jurgen Klopp's side remained three points behind leaders Arsenal and only one point clear of Man City who have a game in hand.<br /><br />Liverpool's forwards were ineffective against cross-city rivals Everton, while the visitor's defense was broken as Jarrad Branthwaite and Dominic Calvert-Lewin got on the scoresheet.<br /><br />The Reds were previously unbeaten at their rivals' home since 2010 when Everton similarly ran out two-nil victors on that occasion as well.<br /><br />Since then it has been a happy stomping ground for Liverpool and Toffees fans were keen to make the most of the rare victory over their noisy neighbours.<br /><br />Home supporters rubbed salt in Liverpool's wounds by emphatically chanting at Klopp and his underperforming players 'You lost the league at Goodison Park'.<br /><br />That statement carries some weight with Liverpool now the outside-favourites amongst Arsenal and reigning champions Man City to win the English top-flight crown.<br /><br />Meanwhile, victory carries Sean Dyche's side further clear of the league's relegation zone and confirms their safety in the Premier League for next season.<br /><br />Reds boss, Klopp, was realistic about his team's chances of winning the title this season following the defeat and admitted they are out of the running unless a late 'crisis' occurs elsewhere.<br /><br />‘I feel for the people,’ he said. ‘We never lost here (under Klopp) and it feels different. I apologize for that.<br /><br />'We need a crisis at Manchester City and Arsenal and need to win football games. <br /><br />'We are not safe (to qualify for) the Champions League, so we should just play better football. You can see we are in a rush in front of goal,' he added.
