Overview
- Liverpool beat Everton 2-1 at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Sunday as Virgil van Dijk headed the winner in the 100th minute.
- Mohamed Salah scored the opener in what was billed as his final Merseyside derby for Liverpool.
- Everton saw Iliman Ndiaye’s finish ruled out for offside in the build-up before Beto leveled early in the second half.
- Injuries disrupted Everton, with goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili forced off, Beto later withdrawn after a head knock, and Jarrad Branthwaite leaving with a hamstring issue.
- The result keeps Liverpool firm in fifth and leaves Everton 10th, one point off sixth, with European qualification still possible under the current seven‑place setup.
