• Gravenberch became the youngest Liverpool player to both score and assist in a Premier League Merseyside derby and was widely named man of the match.
• The champions are five wins from five and top the table on 15 points after a week featuring three victories across competitions.
• Slot said Gravenberch has a bit more freedom in midfield and revealed he delayed substituting him after Everton pulled one back.
