An incensed Jack Grealish allowed his emotions to boil over following the Merseyside derby, earning himself a yellow card after confronting match officials alongside Everton boss David Moyes.
Liverpool extended its flawless Premier League record to five victories from five matches this season with a 2-1 triumph thanks to goals from Ryan Gravenberch and Hugo Ekitike.
However, tensions erupted after the final whistle, with Grealish earning a booking from referee Darren England for his heated exchange.
Grealish's England colleague Jordan Pickford stepped in to prevent his teammate from landing himself in deeper hot water, while Moyes also voiced his displeasure to the match officials.
The title holders established a 2-0 advantage at half-time and appeared in control before Idrissa Gueye reduced the deficit on the hour mark.
This sparked a dramatic conclusion, though the Toffees couldn't locate the elusive leveller as Arne Slot's players preserved their perfect start to the fresh campaign.
Speaking to TNT Sports after the game, Grealish said: "It was a bit frustrating in the second half because they were trying to slow the game down at times.
"Listen, I get sometimes you want to let the game go.
But like I said, I think Kieran [Dewsbury-Hall] is now on four yellows, he's only got one more [before a ban] and he gets a yellow today for taking a quick free-kick
"We want to get the game going, we're losing the game
