"Liverpool extended their dominance in the Merseyside derby with a 2-1 win over Everton at Anfield, though they were made to sweat after Idrissa Gana Gueye's stunning strike set up a tense finale. The home side were in control for large stretches, with Ryan Gravenberch proving the difference in both halves of the pitch. First, the Dutch midfielder produced a clinical finish to open the scoring, then he provided the through-ball for Hugo Ekitike to double Liverpool's lead before the half-hour mark."
"Everton began the match with plenty of energy, pressing high and using Jack Grealish as an outlet on the left. Yet their bright start quickly faded, and Liverpool punished them with their very first real chance in the 10th minute. Mohamed Salah, cutting inside from the right, whipped in a teasing cross that picked out Gravenberch near the penalty spot. With one deft touch, the midfielder guided the ball beyond Jordan Pickford and into the bottom corner, sparking raucous celebrations in the Kop."
