Andy Robertson had the last laugh on Jordan Pickford after the pair were at the heart of some Merseyside derby handbags.
Liverpool hosted Everton at Anfield looking for a first Premier League win of the year, and they duly got one thanks to counter attacking goals from Mo Salah and Cody Gakpo, who netted his first for the Reds as Jurgen Klopp’s men recorded a much needed 2-0 victory over their city rivals. James Tarkowski had hit the post seconds before Liverpool raced upfield and opened the scoring through Salah, who was left with an easy finish after England No. 1 Pickford went walkabout between the sticks.
And there was more slackness at the back from Sean Dyche’s men for the second. Coady inexplicably allowed a low cross to roll across him in the six yard box without knowing who was behind him, which meant Gakpo was able to tap in his first since signing from PSV Eindhoven and condemn the Blues to another derby defeat across Stanley Park.
