Everton approached the game cautiously, putting everyone in blue behind the ball whenever Liverpool were in possession.



Beto fired an Iliman Ndiaye cross wide but otherwise the hosts were comfortable, despite the Toffees pushing their wingers further forward in an attempt to pressurise the full-backs.

Everton had hope and Liverpool had more questions about their ability to hold on to leads.
