Jarrad Branthwaite and Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored the goals that consigned Liverpool to a hugely damaging defeat.

Everton were fired up and Goodison responded in kind.



Another McNeil free-kick found its way to Calvert-Lewin via James Tarkowski but Alisson saved the striker’s close range header.

It was third time lucky for McNeil free-kicks when another needless Liverpool foul, this time Jones on Gueye, presented the winger with one more opportunity to worry the visiting defence.

From the resulting corner, taken deep by McNeil, Calvert-Lewin soared into a gap left by Trent Alexander-Arnold and Virgil van Dijk to head into the bottom corner.

McNeil was close to making it three when Harrison dispossessed Wataru Endo, a Liverpool substitute, on the edge of the area.

Liverpool, in desperate need of a way through, peppered the Everton area with crosses but struck a royal blue shirt all too frequently or were instantly closed down when they did have sight of goal.

­Pickford also denied Harvey Elliott and Salah late on as Everton held on to a famous win.
