Jamie Carragher claimed Jurgen Klopp deserves 'great credit' for acting quicker than usual with his substitutions during the Merseyside derby victory - and the Liverpool boss has now explained his decision.
The Toffees turned up to frustrate at Anfield on Sunday afternoon, but their stubborn resistance was broken just after the hour-mark when Andy Robertson headed home Mo Salah's cross. Substitute Divock Origi's first touch helped create the opening goal, before the cult hero reacted quickest to seal the win five minutes' from time.
Liverpool's imperious form combined with Everton's dismal record on the road meant the odds were firmly stacked against Frank Lampard's side repeating last season's rare derby-day success. However, despite slipping into the relegation zone that afternoon courtesy of Burnley's win over Wolves, the Toffees managed to stifle the hosts.
