Overview

• Liverpool beat Everton 2-1 at Anfield, with first‑half goals from Ryan Gravenberch and Hugo Ekitiké before Idrissa Gueye halved the deficit.
• The champions are top with 15 points as the Premier League’s only side with a perfect start after five matches.
• Mohamed Salah set up Gravenberch for the opener, and Gravenberch later threaded the pass for Ekitiké’s finish past Jordan Pickford.

• Everton stayed competitive under David Moyes, with loanee Jack Grealish a persistent threat in the buildup to Gueye’s strike.
