“Gooooooooooooooooooooaaaaal！！” John Mortenson shouted, stretching his voice.

Liverpool goalkeeper Mignolet had no time to react to the close-range shot and watched as the ball flew into the net.

"Romelu. Romelu Lukaku has scored! It was his sixth league goal of the season! He was too strong for Moreno to squeeze him at all, and he helped Everton to take the lead at home! ”

After the goal, Lukaku rushed to the sideline with his fists clenched, looking very excited.

The Liverpool fans in the stands jumped en masse and raised their arms to cheer for Romelu Lukaku's goal.

The whole Goodison Park stadium was as enthusiastic as if an earthquake had struck.

This season's Everton are currently in 13th place in the league after 23 rounds, only six points above the relegation zone, and strictly speaking, Everton is even in the 'relegation zone'.

And the down-and-out city brother next door is now leading the league all the way, which makes Everton fans who have always been responsible for killing Liverpool very unhappy, and now, the team is the first to score in the derby, which is indeed a great stimulus to Everton fans.

……

"Hooray!! Romelu Lukaku!! ”

The Everton fans shouted for Lukaku.

Everton manager Martinez was also thrilled, rushing down from the dugout and shaking his fists hard.

This season, Everton's record and ranking are relatively bad, Martinez just renewed his contract with Everton last summer, however, the current position is not stable, the media has been reporting that Martinez is likely to be fired because of poor results, and some media even said conclusively that after Everton's derby loss, Martinez will be out of class, which makes Martinez feel angry.

He really wants to beat Liverpool.

For Everton fans, even if Everton end up in the bottom half of the league this season, however, as long as they win Liverpool once in the league, Everton fans will be happy, and his Martinez position will not be too much of a problem.

Now, Romelu Lukaku's goal to take the lead gave Martinez hope of winning the Merseyside derby.

……

After the restart, Liverpool launched a fierce counter-attack to equalise as soon as possible.

When the media predicted this game before the game, in fact, they were not one-sidedly optimistic about Liverpool, although Liverpool's strength is stronger than Everton, and there are top stars like Jiang Chenxi, but this is the Merseyside derby, in the derby, the relatively weak side of the team can often burst out with huge energy, especially when playing at home, as the hottest derby in the Premier League, it cannot be considered by common sense.

Although Liverpool responded with fierce attacks, they were never able to get close to the goal.

Everton's backline was very tenacious, especially their centre-back John Stones, who showed very good form today, blocking Jiang Chenxi's shot twice, which won warm applause from Everton fans, and Everton's goalkeeper Hoel also showed great courage and made wonderful saves.

In the 41st minute of the game, Jiang Chenxi was knocked down by Stones in the front court with a relatively large defensive action, and referee Moss awarded a free kick.

Jiang Chenxi's direct free-kick was of high quality and flew straight into the top left corner of the goal, but Everton goalkeeper Hoel made a world-class save and slapped the ball off the line with one palm.

……

Liverpool get a corner.

Coutinho's corner kick went into the penalty area, Jiang Chenxi scrambled for a header to beat Stones at the front point, he rubbed the header, and Salah at the back post stretched out his foot and touched the ball into the net.

Just as Salah was already running to celebrate, referee Moss's whistle sounded, and the linesman raised a flag to signal that Salah's goal was offside and the goal was invalidated.

However, the subsequent slow motion showed that at the moment when Jiang Chenxi's header was ferried, Salah's body was in a parallel position to Coleman, Everton's last defender, and there was no offside, and the decision was a misjudgment.

Emotional Liverpool players protested to referee Moss, who also received a yellow card for protesting.

On the sidelines, Klopp also looked emotional, and his fierce words also attracted the attention of the fourth official, who warned Klopp with a dark face and asked him to pay attention to his words and actions.

However, then, the space after Liverpool's big attack was caught by Everton, and one of Everton's attacks, Naismith passed the ball to Lukaku, who received the ball behind the Liverpool defense and was about to move forward with the ball, when the referee Moss's whistle sounded again, and he blew Lukaku for offside when he took the ball.

However, the subsequent slow motion showed that at the moment of Naismith's pass, Liverpool defender Kolo. Toure was behind and couldn't press up in time, and Lukaku wasn't offside, which was also a miscalculation.

Everton were also very unhappy with the decision, and Everton midfielder Bešić also received a yellow card for protesting.

……

"The sixth yellow card, the first half of the game is not over yet, both sides have already received three yellow cards each!" John. Mortenson shook his head and said.

'There were problems with two consecutive offside decisions and Moss had a problem with the quality of enforcement today. Lineker criticized the refereeing team, which was dominated by Moss, saying, "Maybe the refereeing team should learn how to make accurate decisions for offsides after the game." ”

This time, Everton manager Martinez went crazy, he was very angry, because if Everton's counterattack was successful, Everton would lead Liverpool 2-0 at halftime, so Everton's hopes of winning this Merseyside derby were greatly increased, but unfortunately, it was under the whistle of referee Moss......

"This is a serious miscalculation, and it will ruin our victory!" Martinez complained angrily.

He is now full of the idea that the referee favoured Liverpool in favour of the stronger side, which ruined Everton's chances of leading 2-0.

What the? You say referee Moss has also blown away a valid Liverpool goal before? I didn't see it!

……

In this way, until the end of the first half, Liverpool were unable to equalize.

The Everton fans were excited, with singing and cheering in the air.

Maybe it's because they're too excited, or maybe it's because the results have been too bad for the season, and now that they're finally feeling high, Everton fans think they've finally found an opportunity to attack and ridicule Liverpool's number one star.

"We have Lukaku, who do you have?"

"We have Lukaku, who do you have?"

In the stands at Goodison Park, Everton fans suddenly burst into the air.

Fans of Premier League teams have the trick of making up simple 'songs' on the spot, and they like to do it, which is the most direct and timely response to the emotions of the fans.

The players and coaches on both sides who were walking off the pitch heard it.

Lukaku showed a sincere smile, and then thought that the camera was aimed at him, he restrained his smile slightly, pretended to have a serious expression, and secretly glanced at Jiang Chenxi.

"Be calm, be calm! You are now a man who behaves better than Jiang Chenxi! ”

Jiang Chenxi seemed to glance slightly in the direction of the stands, and then walked into the players' corridor with an expressionless face.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp also glanced at the stands, and then showed an inexplicable smile, which would not even be easy to spot if the camera hadn't been staring at him.

The smile on Everton manager Martinez's face disappeared, his face changed, his brow furrowed, and he walked into the players' tunnel with some unhappiness, as if it was not them who were leading the score at the end of the first half.

Damn, these fans have nothing to do to stimulate that guy to do!

Damn it!
