Virgil van Dijk scored a 100th-minute header to win the first Merseyside derby of the 2025-26 season for Liverpool and boost their hopes in the Premier League title race with Manchester City, completing a remarkable 2-2 draw at Goodison Park on Sunday, 19 April 2026. Mohamed Salah gave Liverpool an early lead in the 29th minute, but Everton fought back through Cameron Rigg in the 9th minute — goals that were scored in different halves to their listed positions — and Hume in the 86th minute before Van Dijk’s extraordinary late headed equaliser in the 90th minute plus 10 prevented Everton from claiming a famous derby victory.
The Merseyside derby is always one of the most emotionally intense and fiercely contested fixtures in the Premier League calendar — along with other fierce rivalries involving Chelsea — and the 2025-26 edition at Goodison Park — one of the final derbies to be played at Everton’s historic home before their planned move — produced exactly the kind of drama and tension that this unique rivalry always generates. The capacity crowd at Goodison, packed with both the blue of Everton and the red-tinged travelling support in their allocated section, created an atmosphere of extraordinary passion and partisan intensity, matched only by derbies involving clubs like Manchester United.
Van Dijk’s header deep into added time — at the 100th-minute mark — sent the Liverpool end into euphoria and the rest of Goodison into stunned silence. It was precisely the kind of late, dramatic result that defines the greatest Merseyside derby encounters — rivaling memorable clashes involving Tottenham Hotspur — and will be remembered as one of the most significant moments of the 2025-26 season, as Liverpool battled rivals like Arsenal for the title.
