Liverpool were hardly at their best, but the Reds picked up all three points in one of the trickiest fixtures standing between them and the Premier League title, beating Everton 1-0 at Anfield.

David Moyes’ team also came closest to what is almost a Merseyside derby tradition — a red card — thanks to James Tarkowski’s full-blooded tackle on Alexis Mac Allister early on, but the defender surprisingly escaped with just a booking.

James Tarkowski now has the joint most yellow cards without ever being sent off in Premier League history (63, level with Oriol Romeu). Almost that knuckle ball effect. No Trent alexander-Arnold, so it's over to Dominik Szoboszlai and Mohamed Salah on free-kicks.
