Liverpool hold on against Everton after Gravenberch stunner opened derby
"Ryan Gravenberch's 10th-minute stunner set Liverpool on their way to a 2-1 win against Everton in the Merseyside derby. Liverpool stretched their perfect Premier League start to maintain their stranglehold of the Merseyside derby with a 2-1 win over Everton and open up a six-point lead at the top of the table. Goals from Ryan Gravenberch and Hugo Ekitike were the defending champions' reward for a dominant first half on Saturday and enough for a fifth consecutive Premier League win."
"The Dutch midfielder broke the deadlock just nine minutes in with a deft finish on the half-volley from Mohamed Salah's cross. Salah came close to a second moments later with a powerfully struck effort on his trusty left foot that flew just wide. Everton had been on a four-game unbeaten run thanks in large part to the form of the resurgent Jack Grealish."
Liverpool extended a perfect Premier League start with a 2-1 Merseyside derby win over Everton, opening a six-point lead at the top and claiming a fifth consecutive league victory. Ryan Gravenberch opened the scoring with a ninth-minute half-volley from Mohamed Salah's cross, and Hugo Ekitike finished a team move to double the lead. Everton pulled one back through Idrissa Gana Gueye after Liverpool tired in the second half. Arne Slot left Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak on the bench, while Alexis MacAllister returned alongside Dominik Szoboszlai and Gravenberch in midfield. Everton remain without a win at Anfield in front of a crowd this century.
