In a pantomime folly reminiscent of Steven Gerrard against Chelsea in the 2013-’14 season, faithfully reminded whenever the Reds enter the final stretch of a title race, Virgil Van Dijk let Everton’s Beto spin past him like a seasoned pickpocket. Van Dijk, arguably the most impregnable centre-back in the world, mistimed his clearance so horribly that he completely missed the ball. By the time he turned around, the Brazilian had sped into the box and was lining up for the strike, with just the goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher to beat. To the collective relief of the crowd, a bursting silence enveloping the Anfield, Beto’s side-foot shy hit the post. Van Dijk whispered a prayer—he was just a mome...

Arsenal keep alive faint title hopes with 1-0 win over Chelsea

Arsenal defeated London rivals Chelsea 1-0 for their first win in four Premier League games on Sunday as a headed goal by stand-in striker Mikel Merino boosted their faint hopes of catching up with runaway leaders Liverpool. Merino scored in the 20th minute when he stooped to flick his looping header over Robert Sanchez in theChelsea goal after a Martin Odegaard corner. The Spanish midfielder, who has led Arsenal’s attack in the absence of injured colleagues in recent weeks, came close to a second goal in the 60th minute but his side-footed volley was kept out by a fine save by Sanchez.
