Trouncing, mauling, mullering, comprehensive dismantling: all apply to last night’s Liverpool 4-0 Everton result at Anfield, one of the heaviest Merseyside derby thrashings…ever!
Ironically – well, not at all ironically really, but ironically in the misapplied tabloid sense of the word which roughly equates to ‘funnily enough’ – the first such thrashing was a 4-0 win for Everton at Goodison Park.
Ah, those halcyon days of the early 20th century for the Toffees…
