So where were you when Dan Gosling made a little bit of history?

If you’re anything like me, you were sat at home wondering how on earth ITV could have gotten it all so wrong.

But forget about the ineptitude of the television company, if you can, and wonder what it all means for Gosling.

I’ll level with you - I’m an Everton fan, so I’ve had great delight rubbing the result in the noses of the half dozen or so colleagues who operate on, in or around the sportsdesk and support the Reds.

Half have decided the defeat was the ref’s fault, the other half have decided they’re not that bothered (yeah, right!).

But what next for Gosling?

It’s worth remembering that if Everton frontman Victor Anichebe had not had a fall-out with boss David Moyes earlier in the week, it’s likely it would have been him on the pitch instead of the teenager from Devon.

So, Gosling was not counting his chickens (or should that be geese?) when he got his chance to get on and will go down in Merseyside folklore after his efforts.

However, if you don’t give a stuff about either of the teams, and probably care even less after the lack of quality served up by them both on Wednesday night, Gosling will possibly always be remembered as the man whose goal few people saw.

Unless he has a good career with Everton or another club, then that may be the case.

In pub quizzes ten years from now people will be asking you to ‘name the guy who scored a winner in a Merseyside derby, but almost no-one saw because that irritating BT advert was on with the chap reminding you how annoying it is when you lose your connection?’.

In the meantime, Gosling could be plying his trade in the top-flight successfully, or alternatively he could be turning out for Tranmere Reserves on a cold, wet Wednesday night at Prenton Park?

You only have to remember what happened to the last Everton star lauded after scoring a winning goal in a Merseyside.

Whatever did happen to Danny Cadamarteri?

Either way, Gosling is famous for a few days at the very least.

After that it’s up to him, but don’t ask a Liverpool fan what they think, unless you want a mouthful in return.

Trust me, that’s what you’ll get. I know, I’ve tried it.
