  • Liverpool secured a 2-1 victory over Everton in the 247th Merseyside derby, marking their fifth consecutive league win.
  • Ryan Gravenberch opened the scoring for Liverpool in the 10th minute, followed by Hugo Ekitike's goal in the 29th minute.
  • Everton's Idrissa Gueye pulled one back in the 58th minute, capitalising on a lacklustre second-half performance from Liverpool.
  • Despite Everton finishing strongly, they were unable to find an equaliser, extending David Moyes' winless streak at Anfield to 23 attempts.
