Liverpool suffer losing fate for first time in 98 years with Everton defeat

Liverpool lose four matches in a row at home for the first time since 1923 after their crushing 2-0 Merseyside derby defeat to Everton on Saturday.

Liverpool equalled an unwanted 98-year-old record in Saturday's disheartening 2-0 home defeat to Everton in the Premier League.

Jurgen Klopp's men fell behind after just three minutes through Richarlison's opener, and the shell-shocked Reds failed to break down a dogged Everton defence before Gylfi Sigurdsson's controversial penalty completed a famous win for the Toffees.

Carlo Ancelotti led Everton to their first victory on the Anfield turf since 1999 on Saturday, but Liverpool's recent records have been of the unwanted variety amid their well-documented struggles.

By falling to defeat against their Merseyside rivals, Liverpool have now lost four successive home matches on the bounce for the first time since 1923, as the Reds have also lost on their own patch to Burnley, Brighton & Hove Albion and Manchester City in recent weeks.

On an individual level, Klopp has now lost four in a row at home in a league competition for the first time ever as a manager, and the last time he suffered a quartet of top-flight defeats in succession was with Borussia Dortmund in November 2014.

The Liverpool manager had already conceded that his side's title chances are over before Saturday's derby, and the reigning champions are 16 points behind leaders Manchester City before they travel to Arsenal on Sunday.
