Jota’s Goal Secures Narrow Derby Victory for Liverpool Against Everton

Liverpool secured a crucial 1-0 victory in the Merseyside derby at Anfield today. In a tightly contested match, Diogo Jota emerged as the hero by breaking the deadlock just before the hour mark with a composed finish that ended his two-month goal drought.
