Everton will have left the final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park the happier of the two sides, but Liverpool got their revenge at Anfield.

The hosts were far from their fluid and dazzling best against Everton but got the job done as Diogo Jota scored his first goal in a two and a half months to break the deadlock and extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to 12 points over Arsenal.



More assured in the second half, dealing with awkward corners as Everton launched deliveries on top of him.

He somehow got booked for the ordeal.

Jordan Pickford, 6

Some dicey moments: England’s No 1 was nearly caught out clumsily collecting a Mac Allister corner, and again in the second half as he flapped at a set-piece and was saved by Tarkowski’s clearance.

He went some way to redeeming himself with a lucky deflection off a Gravenberch strike, sending it into Pickford’s glove, and was generally strong at the back, but was unlucky again making a block in the lead-up to Liverpool’s goal with Diaz not ruled to be offside.

Jarrad Branthwaite, 8

A towering presence at the back, making several crucial saves.

He cleared the rebound after Pickford parried a dangerous Gravenberch strike and sprinted back to his goal for another brilliant header to deny a Robertson cross in the second half.

Ashley Young, 6: Sent in a great long ball in as Everton pressed in added time but saw it hooked away by Curtis Jones.
