Liverpool restored a 12-point advantage at the head of the Premier League when they achieved a 1-0 win against Everton in Angeld.
Diogo Jota’s strike in the second half showed the difference in a typically hard-fought Merseyside derby, in which Beto did not allow a goal and strike the post for visitors.
Three points ensured that the Reds reacted to the second -placed Arsenal via Fulham on Tuesday and brought them back in the local boast rights.
How the game unfolds
Liverpool made a promising start of the procedure when Ibrahima Konate passed a corner when he was able to do less than three minutes.
And the red had the feeling that they had received a man from a man, James Tarkowski, who caught Alexis Mac Allister on his shin to clarify the ball a bit ruthlessly, although a VAR check concludes that a yellow card was sufficient.
However, Everton started growing in competition and caused the willing Abdoulaye Doucore and Beto Chaos with long balls.
The latter thought that he had brought the Toffees into the legs of Caoimhin Kelleher at the Kopende home, but the flag of the line councilor was quick to signal a marginal offside.
And the national player of Guinea-Bissau let his luck ruin again when he had hit Kelleher after chosen a Virgil van Dijk error.
The half -time break offered Arne Slot the chance to change the game flow, and Liverpool indeed reacted when he started the second 45 much better.
Ryan Gravenberch forced a Jordan Pickford rescue from a distance before Luis Diaz caused chaos in the Everton box after seeing a shot.
And the breakthrough finally came in the 57th minute, Jota won the ball high, exchanged passes with diaz and then dribbled in before shoting home.
Since Liverpool was happy to sit on the lead and check the game from there, David Moyes rolled the cubes, Iliaman Ndiaye, Armando Broja, Ashley Young and Tim Iroegbunam.
But Everton could not contribute to her only shot of half, which came from Jack Harrison in the 52nd minute when the hosts recorded a victory that was greeted in a happy way.
Take a look at Liverpool’s player reviews against Everton here.
Liverpool may have kept a big lead at the head of the Premier League in this game, but you could feel that a few fans will be a little shaky after two defeats against PSG and Newcastle.
Well, a Merseyside derby victory is a pretty good way to relieve the nerves, especially one that makes it clear 12 points on the summit.
All suggestions that the red “youngest” wobble “were more than losses for two excellent pages that played well that day can certainly be brought to bed safely.
The Arne Slot team is in a position in which it is simply a case when you can collect the Premier League title -a Premier League title -a first one in 2020 and a record -owner 20 overall.
Of course, it looked like Liverpool was on the right track at half -time to achieve another result that the fire is on the head.
But Arne Slot again showed his practical talent to improve his team during the break by offering the perfect tactical advice.
Liverpool looked smarter on the ball and played Everton the chance to play their test diagonals by simply having them.
Therefore, the Toffees only made one shot in the second half from more than 25 meters away, although they had a big threat in the first 45 minutes.
For someone who is known as a deadly finisher, it is incredible to believe that Diogo Jota came into this game after having missed Liverpool on his last ten excursions.
The fact is that the Portuguese have not quite looked at from a serious rib injury in October since returning.
But when he achieved a brand winner here while he excluded five shots, he made encouraging signs that a return to the shape could be on the cards.
Since the strikers of other Reds had failed during a key period, it would be a big boost to bring one of their best finisher back into the groove.
