Everton have second-lowest Prem possession EVER with 17 PER CENT vs Liverpool… and completed fewer passes than Thiago

EVERTON recorded the second-lowest possession in Premier League HISTORY in their defeat at Liverpool.

And Reds star Thiago actually completed more passes in the game than the entire Toffees team combined.

Frank Lampard’s side put up a fierce fight in the Merseyside Derby after Burnley’s win over Wolves earlier in the day sent them into the bottom three.

But their hopes of bouncing straight back out of it hours later were ended in the second half at Anfield as Andy Robertson and Divock Origi secured Liverpool a 2-0 win.

The result means Everton end the day in the relegation zone for the first time since December 6, 2019.

However, the true nature of Liverpool’s dominance emerged after the game once Opta released their match stats.

And they make grim reading for Lampard and the Goodison Park faithful.

Everton had just 17.25 per cent of possession in the whole game.

Only Swansea City have ever recorded a lower possession since Opta began recording stats in the 2003004 campaign.

That was in their 5-0 defeat to Manchester City in April 2018.

Everton also only completed 93 accurate passes in the contest compared to Liverpool’s 700.

Incredibly, Reds midfielder Thiago actually made more passes than all of Everton’s players combined.

He completed 120 all by himself as Liverpool moved back to within a point of leaders Man City.
