    Lyon: A few seasons ago everyone was saying Salah is the best in the world and now they're saying he's not so great. For me I respect Salah more now than a few years ago because he's still getting a few goals even when the going has got tough. Anyone can score when you're on form and confident.

    Andrew: Where was Pickford off to there?

    Steve: Good break but why did Pickford put himself in no man's land?

    Josh: Pickford, I mean.. lost for words.

    James Tarkowski could have added to his first goal of the season against Arsenal last time out.

    Instead, he had to turn round and see his side concede.

    Now he chops down Jordan Henderson and gets a final warning from the referee.

    Liverpool

    Mohamed Salah has now been involved in 100 Premier League goals at Anfield (71 goals, 29 assists) in what is his 104th appearance here.

    Only Alan Shearer at Ewood Park (74 games) and Thierry Henry at Highbury (92 games) have done so in fewer games at a specific ground.

    "Going down, going down, going down," is the chant from the home supporters.

    Everton will be rooted in the relegation zone if they don't get a victory here tonight.

    What a counter attack, they broke so quickly, so slick, that was like the Liverpool of old. Down that left hand side, it was so quick, the ball comes across.

    Mo Salah darting through the centre, Pickford is unsure, Salah beats him to it and just strokes it past him from the edge of the area.

    So clinical from Liverpool, just after Everton had that opportunity from the set piece right on to the back post, Tarkowski with the header.

    Liverpool 1-0 Everton

    Devastating break from Liverpool and it doesn't look good for Everton now.

    Liverpool have avoided defeat in their last 40 matches when scoring the opening goal in the English Premier League dating back to this very day against Leicester City two years ago, when they lost 3-1.

    GOAL - Liverpool 1-0 Evertonpublished at 20:36 Greenwich Mean Time 13 February 2023

    Mohamed Salah (37 mins)

    The Reds get the breakthrough.

    A blistering counter-attack from the hosts sees them take the lead.

    They manage to scramble clear and Darwin Nunez leads the charge.

    The Uruguayan plays a cross into the box, Jordan Pickford is caught in no man's land and Mohamed Salah sticks a boot out to poke the ball into an open net.

    Salah's drought is over.

    Solid from Everton thus far, without any attacking threat.

    They've subdued Liverpool's pressure and are seeing a bit more of the opposition half now.

    Everton test Alisson but it's routine for the Liverpool goalkeeper, coming off his line to claim a cross from Dwight McNeil.

    No shots on target for the visitors so far.

    Alex Iwobi's corner is into a good area but no Everton player is there and Joel Matip heads clear.

    Theo: Maybe an unpopular opinion but I really think a player swearing at the referee should be an immediate red card offence. See it way too often and once in this game already. It's never a good look and would result in serious consequences in any other major sport. Needs stamping out.

    SuperSpoonerman: For all the criticisms of refs (and I've certainly contributed) they have to keep their cool when players tell them 'where to go' - twice in quick succession from Andy Robertson.

    Anon: Why are Liverpool exempt from the rules surrounding dissent and abuse of officials? Henderson and Robertson swearing and screaming at the ref constantly and it's allowed to slide. Why do the rules just not apply to certain teams?

    Good header from James Tarkowski, heading Trent Alexander-Arnold's delivery away.

    It drops for Stefan Bajcetic 30 yards out and the youngster has a go, but it's not troubling Jordan Pickford.

    Andrew Robertson chopped down by Alex Iwobi and a chance for Liverpool to send one into the mixer.

    The tempo is increasing, Liverpool are getting into better areas, wider positions, putting balls in.

    Pickford has just picked a difficult one up from Alexander-Arnold.

    The chance, Cody Gakpo, he's got to do much better. He was central in the six-yard box, he just heads it wide from the Nunez volley, sort of overhead kick but he's got to hit the target.
