Liverpool may quietly have got their most potent attacking weapons back

It was a snapshot that perhaps best illustrated the enthusiasm shown by Liverpool's full-backs on Monday evening.

And, no, it wasn't the sight of Andy Robertson laughing in the face of Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford to spark an unseemly melee that could yet have disciplinary ramifications for both teams.

Instead, the moment came nine minutes before the interval when Mohamed Salah prodded home Darwin Nunez's cross to cap a lightning counter-attack and give the Reds a lead they never looked like relinquishing.
