Referee Chris Kavanagh wore a bodycam during the recent Premier League clash between Everton and Liverpool at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, and the footage makes for fascinating viewing.

Everton welcomed Liverpool to their new stadium in a game of massive importance for both sides. A win for Everton would have seen them close to within two points of their fierce rivals as both sides battle to qualify for the Champions League next season.

It was the Reds that emerged victorious in dramatic circumstances. It looked as if the match would end in a draw with the scores locked at 1-1 deep into stoppage-time.

Liverpool would snatch the three points deep into stoppage-time as Virgil van Dijk headed past Jordan Pickford, seriously boosting their chances of qualifying for next season’s Champions League.
