Liverpool make surprise statement as arch-rivals Everton say emotional farewell to Goodison Park

Liverpool and Everton may be fierce local rivals, but the Reds have made it clear that there is still a lot of respect, because they made a statement prior to the last men's competition in Goodison Park.

The stadium will be the permanent land for the Everton ladies team while the men's side switches to their newly built Hill Dickins Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.

Sunday's collision with Southampton brought the curtain down at 133 years of history and Liverpool went to social media to acknowledge the occasion hours for the kick -off.

“A historic stadium, a place where we fought against each other and stood together,” the club wrote next to a black and white photo taken after the Hillsborough disaster in 1989.

'Highlights, lows and so many memories. The end of an era in Goodison Park and the start of a new one. '

The moving image showed Liverpool supporters who held a banner of appreciation for their Everton opposite hits, with the text: 'Thank you all. We never walked alone. '

The two clubs have had many memorable fights over the years and their last was particularly memorable.

The men of Arne Slot were moments of winning the victory when James Tarkowski brought the ball home for eight minutes.

The goal drew wild parties from the home fans, while at the time it was a blow to Liverpool's title costs.

Eventually the Anfield outfit drove to a 20th Top Flight Triumph, while Everton ends in a respectable 13th after Sunday's 2-0 victory.
