Everton 3 - 0 Liverpool
Cahill 23
Johnson 35, 90
The 3-0 victory over Liverpool now occupies a special place in Everton's derby history books. Not only was this the match in which Andy Johnson underlined his star quality and his standing as the new hero of the Gwladys Street, it also gave Evertonians cause to celebrate their biggest victory over the local neighbours for a generation.
Not since 1964 had Everton won by such a significant margin. Coming just four games into the 2006/07 season, the three points pushed the Blues to the top of the Premiership table for a short time and also made a mockery of their standing as pre-match underdogs.
Manager David Moyes got the tactics spot on, choosing to utilise Johnson as a lone striker in a formation that provided Tim Cahill greater attacking licence from midfield.
It was a ploy that worked perfectly, exposing the lack of pace in the Liverpool defence and allowing the club record signing from Crystal Palace the opportunity to shine.
He struck in each half, adding to the home side's advantage after Cahill had netted the opener courtesy of a characteristic smart finish.
Johnson's impact on the Everton side at the start of the 06/07 was never more profound than in this mesmerising match.
"It was amazing", said Johnson. "It was probably the best day of my life. We got off to a great start and to continue against our rivals was amazing."
The Toffees' third goal came in the dying seconds of the match, ensuring it became the biggest derby win for the blues at Goodison for 97 years.
Now relive this glorious day all over again.
