Liverpool, under the lights at Anfield defeated local rivals Everton 2-0 in an EPL action on Monday night.
Liverpool who were without a win in 2023 got off the mark after Tarkowski headed Iwobi’s left-wing corner against the post, Liverpool broke to devastating effect, Nunez played a one-two with Salah deep in his own half, charged down the left and then curled a brilliant cross back towards Salah on the edge of the area.
Pickford ran away from his own goal, thinking the ball was going to evade Salah and reach Gakpo at the far post. Instead, Salah lifted his right foot to cushion the bouncing ball into the empty net in the 36th minute.
The hosts then doubled their lead through another outstanding counter-attack, which started with Bajcetic tackling Iwobi on the left wing in his own half. Robertson played a quick one-two with Henderson and charged infield, into the space.
Robertson eventually swept the ball across the field to Salah, who played in the overlapping Alexander-Arnold in the area. Alexander Arnold slid a low cross into the six-yard box, where Coady allowed the ball to run and Gakpo tapped it into an empty net at the far post in the 49th minute.
Liverpool held on and sealed a 2-0 victory over their neighbors and moved over Chelsea to nineth on the log while Everton remained in 18th place.
