Ndiaye does exceptionally well out wide and it's a lovely ball into the area. Beto is just slightly ahead of it, that's the problem.

That could have been costly. Alisson plays the ball straight to Iliman Ndiaye, who then quickly drives down the right wing before whipping the ball straight into the path of Beto.
The striker gets there on the stretch, skewing it over the crossbar.

Jake O'Brien lifts the ball into the box for Beto, but there's too much pace on it and Alisson collects comfortably.

The dreaded 2-0 lead for Liverpool. Better score a third soon or we all know what will happen and I'm a Liverpool fan.

Arne Slot will be keen for his side to capitalise on this two-goal lead.
He won't want another nervy watch after Wednesday's late win against Atletico Madrid.

You know, I'm really liking Ekitike. I personally think we should've used Nunez as a winger and I miss Darwin's excitement. But it's great we've now got another player who can finish reliably. But I'm also happy that we don't just rely on a 9 to score.

'Ekitike getting better and better'published at 13:01 BST
Liverpool 2-0 Everton
Stephen Warnock
Former Liverpool and Aston Villa defender on BBC Radio 5 Live at AnfieldHugo Ekitike is just getting better and better.
When he gets on the ball, he is a danger and he has been so impressive in his short time at Liverpool.
It's a really smart finish, quick touch and he passes it into the bottom corner.
Jordan Pickford doesn't stand a chance of getting anywhere near it and Liverpool look very comfortable.

Ally McCoist
Former Rangers striker on TNT SportsIt is a great goal. The pass from Gravenberch, weighted it perfectly and the finish from Ekitike through the keeper's legs. It's a great, low finish. Another great Liverpool goal.
GOAL - Liverpool 2-0 Evertonpublished at 28 mins
Hugo Ekitike
Hugo Ekitike takes a bow in front of the Liverpool fans.
A fine, slotted finish after receiving Ryan Gravenberch's pass on the half-turn to double the Reds lead.
That's the Frenchman's third Premier League goal this season.

Former Rangers striker on TNT SportsTerrific play from Grealish and normally Dewsbury-Hall goes for the far side of the goal across the keeper, but he tries to clip it into the near side top corner. Brilliant move.

Jack Grealish turns brilliantly to get away from Ryan Gravenberch and then plays a sneaky ball in behind for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, who slams it over the bar.
A big chance that.

With Liverpool this season and their leaky defence you have got to think they have to take advantage of this fast start and score a couple more.

Former Rangers striker on TNT SportsIt's not the easiest one to take for Gakpo, but he didn't meet it at all well. There is no one putting him under pressure either. That is a big, big chance.

Groans around Anfield.
Liverpool break forward rapidly and the chance pops up for Cody Gakpo but he volleys the ball into the ground and it bounces over the Everton goal. That was a decent chance there for Liverpool to double their lead.

Former Rangers striker on TNT SportsI'm going to be slightly critical. I think there is too much on the pass from Gueye to Beto. That was a chance for Everton.
Postpublished at 22 mins

Idrissa Gueye fizzes a ball in behind for Beto run onto, but Ibrahima Konate gets there first and drives the ball out for a corner.
It comes to nothing for the Toffees.

Match Facts
Liverpool have lost just one of their last 28 home games against Everton in all competitions (W17 D10), winning each of their last four in a row since a 0-2 defeat in February 2021. Only from February 1933 to January 1937 have the Reds ever won five straight home matches against the Toffees.
Everton have won just two of their last 29 Premier League Merseyside derbies against Liverpool (D14 L13) and have failed to score in five of their last seven.
Everton vs Liverpool has seen more red cards than any other fixture in Premier League history (25), with 11 of those being for David Moyes’ Everton side in 24 games across his two spells, the most any team have had red cards under one manager in a Premier League fixture. In 15 league games against Liverpool not as Everton boss, his teams have only had one red card (Nemanja Vidic for Man Utd in March 2014).
With four wins from their opening four league games this season, Liverpool could win each of their first five matches of a Premier League campaign for the third time, after 2018-19 and 2019-20, while they could record three successive clean sheets for the first time since September 2024.
Everton have won six of their last 11 away Premier League matches (D2 L3), as many as they’d won in their previous 30 combined (W6 D10 L14). All six wins have been in 2025, last winning seven in one year back in 2021, which included a 2-0 win at Anfield.
Seven of Liverpool's nine Premier League goals this season have come in the second half of games, with five of those seven coming in the final 10 minutes. Indeed, since the start of last season, the Reds have more goals in the final 10 minutes of games than any other side (19).
Liverpool have scored 47 goals in 21 home Premier League games under Arne Slot; should they score three in this game it would be the fifth-quickest any manager has seen 50 goals scored at home, and quickest since Antonio Conte (18 games in 2016-17).
Everton manager David Moyes has never won a Premier League match at Anfield in 20 attempts (D6 L14) – the joint most any manager has managed at one stadium without winning, along with Moyes at Stamford Bridge (D7 L13). He’s lost each of his last nine at Anfield (one with Man Utd, one with Sunderland, six with West Ham, one with Everton).
Mohamed Salah has scored eight goals against Everton for Liverpool in the Premier League, only Steven Gerrard (9) has more Merseyside derby goals in the competition’s history. This season, however, is his lowest return per 90 for the Reds in terms of shots (1.3), shots on target (0.8), expected goals (0.3) and touches in the opposition’s box (6.3).
Only three players have completed more take-ons in the Premier League this season than Everton duo Jack Grealish and Iliman Ndiaye (both 8). Indeed, only Bruno Fernandes (10) has created more chances from open play than Grealish (9), while only Bruno Guimarães (6) has won possession in the final third more often than Ndiaye (5).
