65 minutes: Everton 2 Liverpool 0.

For 40 minutes or so Everton brought chaos and Liverpool struggled to keep their calm, but there were some encouraging signs towards the end of the half that Jurgen Klopp’s side were starting to gain more control and with it far more of a goal threat.

Everton’s direct style of play has certainly rattled the visitors and they deserved the lead Branthwaite gave them after Liverpool had failed to clear the ball from their box multiple times.

However, having spent most of the half on the back foot, Liverpool began to crank up the pressure late in the first half and will feel they have created the chances to equalise.

Instead, the home fans got to celebrate wildly, twice, as the centre back had just about managed to stay level with the Liverpool defensive line to win his first header back across goal

It’s not a moment Allison will want to look back on as he dived over the ball but Liverpool had plenty of opportunities to clear the ball before that.

Liverpool have not won a header in their own penalty area, and could not clear the lines with the ball bouncing off Konate and across his own six-yard box

This has been an explosive start to the game, and Liverpool are starting to come to the party.

Alexander-Arnold picks out Salah with a delightful scooped pass into the tightest of spaces, but Godfrey saved the day for Everton by hooking clear after Salah poked the ball across goal.
