In a poetic twist of fate, the final Derby at Goodison saw the historic tally between the two fierce rivals locked at 41 wins apiece.

🏟️ A Grand Farewell: The Final Derby Recap
Kick-off under the lights — the atmosphere was electric. Blue flares filled the air, fans chanted with raw emotion, and the Goodison faithful packed the stands, knowing this was more than just another Derby day.

Everton struck first. A brilliant pass found Beto, who calmly slotted the ball into the net, igniting the home crowd. Goodison roared — this was how the last Derby should be remembered.

But Liverpool, as always, found a response. Alexis Mac Allister met a looping cross, his header gliding in slow motion before settling into the net — 1-1.

The second half saw Everton fighting tooth and nail, but Mo Salah — the man for the big moments — pounced on a defensive slip, rifling the ball past Jordan Pickford. Liverpool had spoiled the script — 2-1.

But Goodison wasn’t done yet. Deep into stoppage time — the 98th minute — a desperate long ball caused chaos in the Liverpool box. The ball fell to James Tarkowski, who smashed it into the roof of the net. The stadium erupted. It was a storybook ending — 2-2.

🚨 Drama, Red Cards & A Fitting Send-Off
No Merseyside Derby is complete without chaos:

Curtis Jones saw red after a heavy tackle on Doucouré.
Arne Slot, Liverpool’s boss, was also dismissed after a heated argument with officials.
The match had it all — goals, red cards, and heart-stopping drama. It was a Derby that lived up to its billing, giving Goodison Park the farewell it deserved.
