Carlo Ancelotti says Duncan Ferguson is the "happiest man" in the Everton camp tonight after the Blues ended a 21-year wait for a victory at Anfield.
Goals from Richarlison and Gylfi Sigurdsson saw Everton to a 2-0 win, which secured a first triumph at the home of Liverpool since September, 1999.
Ancelotti says he is unsure if overseeing such a win puts him in the club's history books but he aims to cement his place there in the future by bringing success back to the Blues.
"I think the happiest man in the team was Duncan," Ancelotti said.
"What it means, this victory, is that we can compete. Using our quality, which is not the same technical quality of Liverpool, but we have a strong spirit in this period and our belief is improving.
"Of course, we have to improve and work on this but I think this performance can help us be better in the future. We have to be better at home. This run away is fantastic but at home it has not been good enough."
"I realise that I was the manager that beat Liverpool after 21 years," he added.
"I don't know if this is enough to be in the history of the club but if it is not enough then I will keep working."
Richarlison gave Everton the lead inside three minutes before a Sigurdsson penalty - won after Dominic Calvert-Lewin was fouled - doubled their lead with seven minutes remaining.
"Really happy," Ancelotti said.
"The performance was good, it was difficult, but the spirit of the team was good.
"We competed really well and were clinical in front. We didn't have a lot of opportunities but the opportunities we did have we were able to convert them really well.
"We worked hard defensively. The performance of Jordan Pickford and the back at the back was really, really good. We were then clinical in front with James and Richarlison."
