Liverpool 2-0 Everton: Cody Gakpo's first ever Reds goal 調印(する)s much-needed 勝利,勝つ for Jurgen Klopp in Merseyside derby after Mo Salah's opener, as Toffees remain in relegation zone

One 攻撃する,衝突する and run and one mugging and Liverpool had this Merseyside derby won.

Jurgen Klopp's team were superior by a comfortable distance to an unambitious Everton 味方する who remain 深い in trouble.

If Sean Dyche, the new Everton 経営者/支配人, hoped Liverpool's 最近の poor form would help his team here he was 猛烈に wrong. Everton had to 与える/捧げる something too but did not. Liverpool made all of the running, played all of the attacking football and 得点する/非難する/20d all of the goals.


The first, just before half-time, (機の)カム from a lightening (警察の)手入れ,急襲. Everton 攻撃する,衝突する a 地位,任命する and Liverpool fled the scene to 得点する/非難する/20 spectacularly and thrillingly in 前線 of the Kop through Mo Salah.?

End to end in 15 seconds. Wow.

Mo Salah scored his first goal this year to put Liverpool ahead in the 36th minute

Then, 早期に in the second period, Everton's Alex Iwobi was relieved of the ball by three Liverpool players and had barely climbed to his feet by the time Klopp's team had sped away to 供給する Cody Gakpo with his first Liverpool goal in 前線 of an Everton away support who were beginning to recognise the 広げるing of a familiar horror show.

Liverpool will 直面する better 対抗者s than this but should にもかかわらず be encouraged by the way they played. There was much here that was good.

Uruguayan 今後 Darwin Nunez 供給するd Salah with his goal and was a buccaneering 脅し all evening. Captain Jordan Henderson led his team with courage and energy.

In the second half, once the second goal was 安全な・保証するd, Liverpool attacked with some of the cavalier 信用/信任 of old.

Everton? 井戸/弁護士席 let's just say these are the not the games they will have to 勝利,勝つ if they are to stay up and it is just 同様に.

Dyche's team were never really in it as an attacking presence and their 経営者/支配人 erred in selecting young Ellis Simms up 前線 for only his third 首相 League game. Simms has played most of his football on 貸付金 for Sunderland in the 選手権 this season and, hard as he tried, it showed.

Had James Tarkowski's header gone in just before Liverpool's first goal then Everton would have led and Klopp's players, low on 信用/信任 recently, may have panicked.?

But that feels like a slender straw to 粘着する to after a night when Everton were outplayed and outrun.

Their gameplan was (疑いを)晴らす and maybe 理解できる. They 試みる/企てるd to slow the game 負かす/撃墜する whenever possible, stay in the contest and wait for Liverpool to grow 失望させるd. For a while they may have considered it to be working but it wasn't really.

Liverpool were not at their recognisable best in the first half hour. They have struggled for form so terribly recentl y that they were never going to play with that 直感的に 信用/信任 of old.

Liverpool were still better, though. The 勢い of the game was still theirs and when they broke to 得点する/非難する/20 it was with a 反対する-attack that could have been taken straight from their imperious form of last season.

Everton won a corner on the left in the 36th minute and when it dro pped on to the forehead of Tarkowski at the far 地位,任命する, the defender could have 追加するd to the goal he 得点する/非難する/20d in Dyche's first game in 告発(する),告訴(する)/料金 at home to 兵器庫. This time, though, the ball (機の)カム 支援する off the upright and when Dwight McNeil's follow-up was (疑いを)晴らすd, Liverpool were in 商売/仕事.

How many times have we seen them break upfield like this? Certainly better teams than Everton have 苦しむd at their 手渡すs in this way.

Cody Gakpo made it 2-0 with his first goal since joining the Reds in the 49th minute

Here Nunez collected the ball on the 辛勝する/優位 of his own 刑罰,罰則 area and swapped passes with Salah before setting off 負かす/撃墜する the left-手渡す 味方する.

With Everton より数が多いd, Nunez had two men in the centre to 目的(とする) at. The ball may 井戸/弁護士席 have reached Gakpo and it was the Dutch 今後 who Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford seemed to have his 焦点(を合わせる) on. Salah was the one who reached it first, however, and with Pickford out of position to his 権利, he 味方する-footed the ball into the empty goal from 12 yards.

It was a classic Anfield moment, a 解雇する/砲火/射撃 and brimstone goal. In an instant all of Everton's hard work had been undone and within four minutes of the second half starting their challenge - such as it had been - was 消滅させるd.

Cody Gakpo made it 2-0 with his first goal since joining the Reds in the 49th minute

Gakpo tapped in Trent Alexander-Arnold's cross at the far 地位,任命する to 二塁打 their advantage

When Iwobi was hustled off the ball in the Liverpool half, the home team still had 75 yards to travel but Andy Robertson tore upfield to 料金d Salah, he moved 所有/入手 on to Trent Alexander-Arnold on the overlap and his low cross to the far 地位,任命する was shovelled in by Gakpo.

Once again it was a superb goal but once again Everton were culpable. This time it was Conor Coady who erred in 許すing the cross to pass 連続する within his 範囲. Did he not know Gakpo was waiting behind him? If he didn't, he should have.

For the next 20 minutes or so, it was all Liverpool. Nunez was 否定するd by Pickford and then Salah was, too. There was even the joy of subs Roberto Firmino and Diogo Jota returning from 傷害. Everton 交替/補充 Tom Davies could have 始める,決める up a nervy finale though had he not 長,率いるd a good chance over with 10 minutes left.

Then a late 対決 between Pickford and Robertson 刺激するd a melee 伴う/関わるing a number of players and 代用品,人s. It was hard not to 結論する it was the closest the Blues had got to the Reds all night.
