'We needed to be more clinical' - Jordan Henderson's Merseyside derby verdict

Jordan Henderson feels a lack of cutting edge in the final third cost Liverpool the opportunity to win Sunday’s Merseyside derby.

The Reds were held to a 0-0 draw by Everton in their first Premier League fixture since mid-March following the season’s pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and now hold a 23-point lead at the top of the table.

Both teams struggled to create clear-cut chances as they settled back into the rhythm of competitive football, with Tom Davies going closest late on - the Blues midfielder hitting the post on the follow-up after Alisson Becker had made a fine save to deny Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
