Stoke goalscorer against Liverpool an Everton fan

Everton fan Jon Walters scored Stoke's winner over Liverpool at the Britannia Stadium much to his delight and those in his Evertonian supporting family. The Wirral-born 27-year-old scored the only goal from the penalty spot.

"I said to myself if I win another one I'll get up and take it and there was no putting it in the corner, it was blast it straight down the middle," he said.

Inflicting Liverpool's first defeat of the campaign was particularly sweet for a player from an Evertonian family.

"It's a Blue family so they are all happy," added Walters.

"The majority of my family are Evertonians, although my wife's father is a Red. I'm a bit happier because I'm a Blue.

"A goal's a goal but it is always sweet to score against Liverpool really.

"My brother was here - he's a Blue and he was made up."
