Liverpool thrashed Everton 2-1 to maintain a 100% Premier League start, totalling 5 games, and strengthened their dominance in the local league, putting them five points ahead of Tottenham in second position.
Liverpool has continued to rely on late goals to secure wins in their recent matches, but they snatched their win early this time. The first goal came in the ninth minute after the game started, when Ryan Gravenberch converted Salah’s cross into a goal. Hugo Ekitike scored the second goal with a fine finish.
The game didn’t end without Everton, which Jack Grealish inspired in the second half, with a shot by Idrissa Gana from close range.
Liverpool looks more like they are affected by fatigue that occurred just 60 hours after they secured a 3-2 victory against Atletico Madrid in a Champions League game. Still, Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz, who came in as substitutes, could not earn back full control.
The tiredness did not stop League leader Liverpool from preserving a perfect record, leaving their opponent winless in Liverpool’s home this century. The loss also made it the 23rd defeat record at Anfield as head coach.
