# Liverpool: Fans loved Peter Drury’s commentary in Merseyside derby

**Plenty of Liverpool fans were raving about the commentary of Peter Drury in Wednesday night’s Merseyside derby victory.**

Along with former Reds player Jim Beglin, he was [calling the match for viewers on Amazon Prime Video](https://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/amazon-prime-commentator-peter-drury-21020099), who [screened all of this week’s Premier League games for the first time](https://www.the42.ie/amazon-prime-premier-league-ireland-4916186-Dec2019/).

With Liverpool romping to a 5-2 victory over neighbours Everton at Anfield, a game in which the home side scored four times in the first half and maintained their eight-point lead at the top while sending the Toffees into the relegation zone (as per [Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/liverpool-vs-everton/408129)), Drury summed up the contrasting fortunes of the two teams with the quote: “Liverpool pressing, Everton depressing”, one which went down a treat with many Reds fans.

A number of Liverpool supporters have been vocal in their criticism of Sky Sports commentator Martin Tyler over the years for a [perceived lack of excitement for Reds goals](https://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liverpool-fans-arent-impressed-martin-16962924) and [hyperbolic reactions to goals scored against the Merseysiders](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/manchester-united-martin-tylers-martial-10046078).

By contrast, these Liverpool fans loved Drury’s commentary during the midweek derby win:
