After Yerry Mina’s own goal had given the visitors the lead just before halftime, the Blades managed just one effort on goal, which came from replacement Lys Mousset in the 79th minute.
Even though they only had thirty percent of the play and won two corners, the players’ tenacity and dedication allowed them to record their first Premier League victory since December 2006—the year they were demoted—and inflict Everton’s first home league loss since February.
Wilder remarked, “It’s probably as bad as we’ve done with possession.”
We did not turn the ball over cheaply, therefore that is not like us. The game was completely out of our control.
It was the worst we’ve played so far this season, both in terms of box defense and out of possession.
Even though we are not very good with the ball, we have a steadiness about us that allows us to still have a chance to win.
“The staff and I had a difficult afternoon because we made numerous poor choices, individual errors, and inexpensive ball giveaways.
“Days like today are inevitable; you just have to accept them, move on, and leave Liverpool as soon as you can.”
When Everton fell down, the manager was shocked by how anxious his players were, especially given their stellar home record at Goodison Park.
“The game changed completely after that (own goal), and we couldn’t handle the usual pressure,” he remarked.
“On the field, we lacked the necessary skill and occasionally, the powerful personality that is required.
“We had no motivation to play football, and in the sixty minutes following the goal’s concession, we were really anxious.
“There was no reason for us to play so nervously because we had won at Goodison Park for seven months running.
“We are unable to manage everyday stress or make wise choices if we are extremely anxious when playing football.
“We comprehend the response of our supporters, who booed at the conclusion of the game.”
Silva, though, believed that Callum Robinson’s shoulder-to-shoulder challenge of goalkeeper Jordan Pickford at a near-post corner should not have been permitted to stand, as it set up the first goal.
Following a standard VAR check, referee Simon Hooper’s ruling was upheld.
