Everton Stun Liverpool 2-1 at Bramley-Moore Dock – Rohl’s Thunderbolt Sparks Toffees’ Derby Glory Amid Late Penalty Chaos!
Bramley-Moore Dock was awash in blue euphoria as Everton pulled off a sensational 2-1 victory over Liverpool, grabbing their first win of the 2025/26 Premier League campaign in the most dramatic fashion possible. For David Moyes and the Toffees, three priceless points tasted even sweeter coming against their fiercest rivals.
The Reds had struck first through Mohamed Salah’s early finish, silencing the home crowd and hinting at another Liverpool derby stranglehold. But Everton came alive after the break. Merlin Rohl—the 18-year-old German wonderkid Moyes fought tooth and nail to sign—launched a breathtaking 30-yard rocket in the 67th minute, igniting the stands and restoring belief.
Then came the climax: a hotly-debated 89th-minute penalty coolly converted by an unlikely hero, sending Evertonians into delirium as chants of “Rohl’s a wizard!” echoed around the new ground. Moyes, visibly emotional, roared post-match: “That was for every Blue who’s suffered—tonight we’re kings of the city again!”
Social media erupted, with #COYB trending worldwide and fans demanding answers: “Who was the ice-cool pen man who buried the Reds?”
Fresh off a hard-fought draw at Villa and with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall orchestrating play brilliantly (eight chances created already this season), this derby triumph signals Moyes’ plan is finally taking hold after the Goodison farewell.
But questions remain—what VAR drama surrounded the winning penalty, and how does Rohl’s breakout strike reshape Everton’s survival push?
Stay tuned for full highlights, fan reactions, and Moyes’ selection hints ahead of the Palace clash.
