Overview

• Ryan Gravenberch volleyed in Mohamed Salah’s cross inside 10 minutes and later fed Hugo Ekitike for a second before the half-hour.
• Idrissa Gana Gueye halved the deficit from a Jack Grealish-inspired move just before the hour as Everton pushed late.
• Alexis Mac Allister started with Dominik Szoboszlai and Gravenberch in midfield, while big-money arrivals Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz began on the bench.
• Isak and Wirtz were introduced as Liverpool tired after their midweek Champions League win, but the hosts closed out the derby under referee Darren England.
• The champions made it five wins from five in the league to lead by six points, extending David Moyes’ winless run at Anfield to 23 visits.
