"LIVERPOOL -- With Liverpool under pressure in the dying minutes of their battling 2-1 victory over Everton, the ball fell to Ryan Gravenberch. The midfielder, camped deep inside of his own half, took it in stride and released it to Mohamed Salah. Within seconds, Liverpool were bearing down on the Everton goal. It was far from the most eye-catching moment in Gravenberch's all-action display, but it reinforced a sentiment that is becoming increasingly difficult to argue against: he has become irreplaceable to Liverpool."
"The 23-year-old proved that again on Saturday afternoon, scoring a superb opener before teeing up striker Hugo Ekitike to score a well-worked second goal for the hosts. In doing so, he became the youngest player to both score and assist for Liverpool in a Premier League Merseyside derby, and ended the game tied for the team high in recoveries (seven) and second in terms of completed passes (47)."
Ryan Gravenberch played a pivotal role in Liverpool’s 2-1 victory over Everton, initiating the decisive attack late in the game and delivering a goal and an assist. He became the youngest player to both score and assist for Liverpool in a Premier League Merseyside derby, finishing the match tied for the team high in recoveries (seven) and second in completed passes (47). The Netherlands midfielder arrived from Bayern Munich in 2022 for £34 million and has progressed from an afterthought to a key figure alongside Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah. He provided defensive stability after the break while helping preserve Liverpool’s perfect league start.
