THIS scintillating performance by
Liverpool emphasized the gap which then existed between the Anfield club and their
neighbours and oldest rivals, Everton. The Blues, once famous for 'scientific' football,
seemed to have mislaid the formula.
Liverpool's superiority was obvious from the start and Rush, Souness, Hansen and
Dalglish were all in world-beating form as Liverpool stormed to the biggest away win in a
Merseyside derby since 1914.
For Rush it was an extra-special day, for his four goals equalled those by Fred
Howe in the Merseyside derby of 1935. The Welshman's intelligent running reduced Everton's
back-four to chaos and after only 11 minutes he put the Reds ahead with a low drive. That
goal separated the teams at half-time, although Liverpool had dominated the first half.
Eight minutes before the interval, Everton were reduced to ten men when Keeley was sent
off for a foul on Dalglish.
Six minutes into the second half, Rush made it 2-0, squeezing between Borrows and
Wright to force the ball home, and three minutes later it was 3-0. Dalglish collected a
throw-in and crossed to Lawrenson who evaded McMahon before beating Southall.
After 70 minutes, Rush completed his hat-trick with a fierce drive after his first
effort had rebounded off a post, and with five minutes remaining, the same player rounded
the prostrate Southall to slip the ball into an unguarded net.
Southall was the one Everton player to come out of the match with real credit, for
he had often fought a lone battle, while at the other end Grobbelaar was untroubled. |
