It was a difficult game last night, spoiled by swirling winds and inept refereeing. Despite this, Liverpool showed their mettle and came away with the points like Champions do.
The Reds had to wait until after the hour mark to make the breakthrough when Stephen Darby made a storming run into the box, picking up a pass from Jermaine Pennant and then crossing into the six yard box where Jordy Brouwer was on hand to flick home the winner.
The game could and should have been wrapped up earlier with Emiliano Insua and Jay Spearing both coming close and Krizstian Nemeth having a stonewall penalty turned down after being blatenly tripped in the box by an Everton defender after turning him inside out.
Ronald Huth almost made it 2-0 from a corner but his powerful header came back off the bar. It wasn't to matter; just like the first teams on Sunday, the Reds defence was comfortably able to cope with a non-existent Blue attack.
The win means the reserves can win the league next week when they face Blackburn on Monday and then Man City on Thursday. Four points from these two games and Liverpool reserves are Premier League North champions.
