Overview

• Liverpool beat Everton 2-1 at Anfield for a fifth win from five in the Premier League.
• Ryan Gravenberch scored and assisted, becoming the youngest Liverpool player to do both in a Premier League Merseyside derby, as Slot grants him greater attacking license.
• Hugo Ekitike finished Gravenberch’s through ball for the decisive second, while record signings Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz came on late after starting on the bench.
• Slot said he has “no headache” choosing between Ekitike and Isak, stressing the need to rotate after three games in seven days.
• Liverpool again conceded after leading 2-0, extending a pattern that has raised questions over composure, as Wirtz’s adaptation draws scrutiny and full-back performances remain under review.
