Liverpool vs Everton LIVE: Premier League result and final score as Divock Origi goal seals derby win
All the reaction and updates from Anfield in a crucial Merseyside derby for both teams
Follow live reaction as Liverpool kept their Premier League title challenge on track as they overcame a battling and stubborn Everton side at Anfield to leave their Merseyside rivals in the relegation zone.
The Reds had been frustrated by the visitors in a feisty derby until Andy Robertson broke the deadlock midway through the second half, as the full-back met Mohamed Salah’s cross at the back post in front of the Kop.
Substitutes Luis Diaz and Divock Origi then combined to seal the win - with the Belgian striker scoring another derby goal against Everton, in what was an inspired double change from Jurgen Klopp.
The result sees Liverpool close the gap to Manchester City to one point with five matches of the season remaining, while Everton are left in serious danger after Burnley’s win over Wolves earlier in the day saw Frank Lampard’s side drop into the bottom three.
Chelsea 0-0 West Ham
89 mins: So after all of that - a red card and penalty - it remains goalless.
What a bizarre end to a hapless match.
MISSED PENALTY! Chelsea 0-0 West Ham
87 mins: OH MY WORD!
Jorginho steps up to take the spot kick, does the stuttered run-up, and then passes it straight into the arms of Fabianski!
It was the tamest penalty you will EVER see! Remarkable.
RED CARD! Chelsea 0-0 West Ham
85 mins: As expected, Craig Dawson is sent off. What a real, real shame. The centre-back who has been sensational all afternoon has now been dismissed.
And with Zouma, Diop and Ogbonna already on the sidelines, this is another selection headache for Moyes at the heart of his defence - in the Premier League.
Chelsea 0-0 West Ham
85 mins: VAR also looking at whether it was a clear goalscoring opportunity. It was. That means Dawson’s yellow card is going to be upgraded to a red here. Almost certainly.
PENALTY! Chelsea 0-0 West Ham
85 mins: PENALTY TO CHELSEA!
Thiago Silva flicks on a long ball and Lukaku is through on goal before Dawson pulls him down. Nailed on penalty.
Shame for Dawson. He has probably been the best player on the pitch.
Chelsea 0-0 West Ham
84 mins: Azpilicueta sends a cross in from the right and Lukaku gets there ahead of Dawson before heading against the West Ham defender’s chest and out for a corner.
The set-piece comes to nothing, though. It’s all the way back to Mendy.
Chelsea 0-0 West Ham
82 mins: Alonso goes into the book for a reckless elbow into the head of Soucek while challenging for a high ball. Chelsea clearly getting frustrated now.
Chelsea 0-0 West Ham
80 mins: You get the feeling there is going to be at least one more big chance in this game. The momentum now seems to be with Chelsea but West Ham have the threat of the break through a fresh Jarrod Bowen.
Ziyech tries to find Lukaku with a cross into the middle but gets it horribly wrong and West Ham have themselves a goal kick.
Chelsea 0-0 West Ham
79 mins: My mistake, Havertz went off rather than Mount. I know that because Mount just fired a long-range strike over the top.
Meanwhile, West Ham make another change. Manuel Lanzini comes on for Said Benrahma.
