Liverpool maintained their perfect Premier League record by beating a spirited Everton side 2–1 in the Merseyside derby on Saturday lunchtime.
The 247th instalment of the rivalry started as expected, Liverpool dominating possession and Everton sinking into their own third. The scoreline soon reflected pre-match predictions, too, with Ryan Gravenberch expertly breaking the deadlock.
