Cody Gakpo admitted Liverpool desperately needed to beat Everton after weeks of "struggling" in the Premier League.
Gakpo joined the Reds in the January transfer window, but had failed to score in his opening six games for the club. That drought was finally ended against the Toffees, when he fired in Liverpool's second goal in their derby day win at Anfield.
The Dutchman ghosted in at the back post to turn Trent Alexander-Arnold's cross into the net and secure the three points for the hosts. The win was the Reds first of the calendar year and Gakpo has admitted it was one Jurgen Klopp 's men desperately needed.
