27 September 1999. That was the last time Everton had beaten Liverpool at Anfield. An early Kevin Campbell goal was all they needed then, as three players were sent off in a typically hot-headed Merseyside derby.
The Toffees failed to repeat the trick for 21 years. However, going into this match, Liverpool had lost three straight Premier League matches and their unbeaten home record was in tatters as Burnley, Brighton & Hove Albion, and Manchester City won the last three games at Anfield. With Everton just three points of their Red rivals, this was undoubtedly their best shot at ending their torrid Anfield record.
