Liverpool v Everton LIVE: Premier League result and final score after Mohamed Salah double

The two Merseyside rivals clash at Anfield as the Premier League returns from international break

Merseyside derby is such a special game - Klopp

Liverpool take on Everton in the Merseyside derby on Saturday in a bid to bounce back following two successive matches without a win.

Jurgen Klopp’s Reds suffered a last-gasp defeat at Tottenham following a VAR-fueled controversy and also drew 2-2 with Brighton in the last game before the international break.

Liverpool have had problems in midfield and at the back this season and have conceded nine goals in the opening eight matches. However, they have had no problems at the other end of the field, having netted 18 times.

Everton have been floundering towards the foot of the table so far this season, having only just escaped relegation last time, but have won twice in their last three league fixtures.

90+2’ Jota weaves into the box and decides to go himself but goes too wide and fires into the side netting.

90+1’ There will be nine minutes of added time so there is still a long way to go here, although the official 90 minutes is up.

90’ Save! Pickford makes a stunning reaction save to deny Liverpool what would have surely been a second.

Liverpool 1-0 Everton

88’ Everton have brought on Chermiti for Mykolenko, and might try and throw everything at it in the final few minutes remaining.

Liverpool 1-0 Everton

86’ Liverpool have had almost all of the possession in the last 10 minutes or so but they seem content to take their time now that they have that crucial goal lead.

It’s hard to remember when Everton last had a shot of any sort - it might have been the first half.

Liverpool 1-0 Everton

82’ Chance! Jota powers a header goalwards, it was good contact but it was straight at Pickford, any distance either side and it’s hard to see how he would have stopped that.

Liverpool 1-0 Everton

80’ More Liverpool changes and this time it’s a defensive move with Diaz off for Joe Gomez.

I wonder if Liverpool will be content with this advantage given that Everton have just 10 men.

Liverpool 1-0 Everton

79’ The game has just settled down again since the goal, Salah has a free kick, and it is hard to see a way back for Everton now.

GOAL! Liverpool 1-0 Everton

GOAL!

75’ Mohamed Salah makes no mistakes from the penalty spot and breaks the deadlock.

Anfield erupts and the home side have their breakthrough.
