Liverpool vs Everton LIVE: Premier League result and final score after Mohamed Salah and Cody Gakpo goals

52 mins: That is Cody Gakpo’s first Premier League goal for Liverpool and it couldn’t have come at a better time. The Reds - in need of a win this year - have a two-goal cushion in the Merseyside derby.

Everton try to respond with another set piece that is curled over to James Tarkowski. He leaves Gakpo in his dust but Alisson leaps in front of him and punches the ball away.

49 mins: Another counter-attack for Liverpool brings another goal!

Andy Robertson drives the ball forward before sending it across to Mo Salah. Salah slides the ball into the box for Trent Alexander-Arnold making an overlapping run.

He collects is a rolls a low pass across goal to the far post where Cody Gakpo keeps himself onside and taps it home!

48 mins: Everton have the chance to pressure Liverpool early in this second half when they win a free kick over on the left wing. Dwight McNeil lifts the cross over to the back post but there’s no-one there to get on the end of it and Liverpool work the ball clear.

Kick off: Everton get the match restarted at Anfield. There’s been no changes from either manager at the break. Can the Toffees respond over the next 45 minutes?

Mo Salah has become the 13th player to be involved in 100 Premier League goals at a single stadium (71 goals, 29 assists at Anfield).

He’s done so in 104 appearances, with only Alan Shearer (74 at Ewood Park) and Thierry Henry (92 at Highbury) doing so in fewer.

Everton have been trailing 34 times in the Merseyside derby at half-time. Only once have they come back to win the game. Can they do so a second time tonight?

Back in the goals.

45+1 mins: Everton’s main threat has come from set pieces but they’ll need to be more adventurous now that they’re chasing the game.

Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool will be very pleased. Another goal could kill off the game and Mo Salah is back in the goals.

42 mins: “Going down, going down, going down,” is the chant coming from the Liverpool fans. Everton will be stuck in the relegation zone if they don’t pick up a point against the Reds tonight.

James Tarkowski lunges into a tackle on Jordan Henderson but cleans out the man. He’s lucky not to get booked there.

39 mins: That’ll be a tough one for Everton to take. They came within a couple of inches of taking the lead but a rapid counter-attack has undone them.

Liverpool will want a second one to really drive home their lead.
