Jürgen Klopp said Liverpool showed signs of rediscovering their true form as his team recorded a first Premier League win of 2023 in the Merseyside derby against Everton.
Mohamed Salah scored his first league goal at Anfield since October while new £35m signing Cody Gakpo converted his first goal for the club in a comfortable defeat of Sean Dyche’s relegation-threatened team. Salah claimed the performance “looks like the old Liverpool” and revealed that captain Jordan Henderson and vice-captain James Milner convened a team meeting last week to discuss the recent poor run. Klopp concurred that his team had produced the ideal response to the 3-0 loss at Wolves last time out.
