Liverpool overcome nerves to beat Everton in Merseyside derby
- 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.
- The win maintained Liverpool's strong position at the top of the table, though their habit of conceding from a 2-0 lead highlighted ongoing adjustments for Arne Slot's side.
