"The Reds' 101st win over Everton in Merseyside Derby history saw Ryan Gravenberch and Hugo Ekitike score the goals to give the Reds the bragging rights on Merseyside. This victory means that Liverpool will retain their place at the top of the Premier League over the weekend, regardless of other results. Here are three winners and losers from the 247th Merseyside Derby."
"Gravenberch has come into his own since Arne Slot's arrival and is now a part of the spine of the team, providing cover for his teammates especially defensively. He won more tackles than anybody in the first half, as well as winning the most duels among Liverpool players. With six goals under his belt for the club, if Gravenberch can keep adding them to his game he will soon surely be recognised as one of the best midfielders in the world."
"Everton manager David Moyes retains his record of having never won a match as a manager at Anfield. The Everton legend has also won only six of his 45 matches as a manager against Liverpool overall. Moyes's last win against Liverpool came as West Ham manager in November 2021, as the Irons won 3-2 at the London Stadium. He has now also lost two of his three games as a manager against Arne Slot. Moyes has never really displayed the tactical nous with any of his teams to frustrate Liverpool and carve out a win at Anfield."
Liverpool recorded their 101st Merseyside Derby win as Ryan Gravenberch and Hugo Ekitike scored to secure bragging rights and keep Liverpool top of the Premier League over the weekend. Gravenberch dominated midfield, scored and assisted, becoming the youngest player to do both in a Merseyside Derby, winning more tackles in the first half and the most duels among Liverpool players. He has six goals for the club and has integrated into the team's spine since Arne Slot's arrival. Everton manager David Moyes remains without a win at Anfield, has only six wins in 45 matches versus Liverpool, and has struggled tactically against Slot.
