Moyes Rues Everton Missed Chances After Merseyside Derby Heartbreak as Toffees' Survival Hopes Take Major Blow

David Moyes was left to lament Everton's inability to take their chances after a heartbreaking 1-0 defeat to Liverpool in the Merseyside Derby on Sunday. The loss, sealed by Virgil van Dijk's 100th-minute header, leaves Everton six points from safety with just five games remaining in the Premier League season. The Toffees created several clear-cut opportunities but failed to convert, a theme Moyes believes has defined their campaign. 'You don't always get what you deserve in football,' Moyes said in his post-match press conference. 'We had chances to win the game, we hit the post, we had good opportunities, but that's been the story of our season.' Everton had appeared set to secure a crucial point when they frustrated Liverpool for 90 minutes at Anfield. However, Van Dijk rose highest from a corner in the dying moments to power home the winner, sparking jubilant scenes among the home supporters. The result leaves Everton in 16th place, three points behind 17th-placed Nottingham Forest, who have a game in hand. 'The players gave everything today, but we need to start winning games,' Moyes added. 'The margin for error is gone now. Every match from here is a final.' Liverpool's victory moves them to within three points of Arsenal at the top of the table, setting up a thrilling title race run-in with Manchester City also in contention.
