Gary Neville has sent a warning to Liverpool about the Premier League title race following their victory over Everton.

The Reds secured a 1-0 win against the Blues in the season's final Merseyside derby at Anfield on Wednesday night.

Diogo Jota broke the deadlock just before the hour mark, after a goalless first half, securing three points for Liverpool.



This victory pushed the Reds 12 points clear of Arsenal at the top of the Premier League table, having seen their lead temporarily cut to nine points for 24 hours.

The triumph over Everton means Liverpool now needs a maximum of 13 points from the remaining eight matches to clinch the Premier League title.

Ex-Manchester United defender Neville shared his thoughts on Liverpool's performance against Everton on Sky Sports, and offered insight into what the Reds players might be feeling post-victory in the Merseyside derby, as well as a caution about the title race.

"It wasn't spectacular from Liverpool, but that wasn't the most important thing.

Liverpool was really professional, particularly after scoring the goal, I thought was outstanding.

"I think Liverpool has done that quite a few times this season where it has kept the ball really well, managed the game, and Everton couldn't really get any momentum.

The most important thing was the three points just after what happened a couple of weeks ago [against Newcastle in Carabao Cup final].

"It would have been a long couple of weeks for the Liverpool players, for Arne Slot, but tonight they'll go into that dressing room and know that they're nearly there and it'll be about making sure they don't make mistakes now."
