Liverpool stay perfect in the Premier League after beating Everton 2-1 in a tense Merseyside derby to extend David Moyes' miserable record at Anfield.



Moyes would have been hoping it was 21st time lucky having never won a Premier League match on Liverpool turf, despite trying with four different clubs.



His agonising wait goes on.



In a break with recent practice, Liverpool took command of the game early, scoring via an instinctive Ryan Gravenberch effort from Mohamed Salah's majestic delivery in the 10th minute.

Hugo Ekitike celebrates after scoring his fourth goal in Liverpool colours?

The midfielder - smartly reinstalled alongside Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister in the middle of the park at a cost to the benched Florian Wirtz - then turned provider when sliding through Hugo Ekitike for his fourth Liverpool goal since joining in the summer!

Alexander Isak joined the action in the 67th minute for his league debut but ultimately wasn't needed.

Everton rallied after the break to make the match interesting, halving the deficit via a thumping Idrissa Gueye volley, engineered by an adventurous Jack Grealish - arguably the brightest player on the pitch.
