Everton win Premier League 2 - thanks to Liverpool

Everton have won this season's Premier League 2 crown.

Everton's Under-23 side became champions after earning a favour from rivals Liverpool who beat second-placed Manchester City 3-2.

City needed to win their last two matches to have a chance of catching the Toffees.

However, their challenge ended when Reds midfielder Matty Virtue scored an added-time winner in their game at Tranmere's Prenton Park.

Everton now have an unassailable six-point lead with one match remaining.

That match will see them meet rivals Liverpool at Goodison Park on May 8.
