Liverpool’s win over Everton will be fondly remembered by Kopites for a number of reasons and not just the three points.
The Reds recorded a 2-0 victory over their city rivals in the 240th instalment of the Merseyside derby in their latest match. Second half goals from Andy Robertson and Divock Origi secured the points for Liverpool.
Despite winning the game, Liverpool were forced to work hard for the three points. The first half ended goalless, with the visitors frustrating Jurgen Klopp’s side throughout.

One instance which riled the home fans in the first half was Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford appearing to waste time when getting his hands on the ball. The Blues stopper, under no pressure from Liverpool players, collapsed to the floor and appeared to wink in the direction of his team-mates.
With the scoreline at 2-0, Richarlison had an effort which proved easy for Alisson Becker to hold onto in the closing moments. However, the Brazilian seemed to copy Pickford’s earlier tactics by collapsing to the floor under no pressure, much to the delight of Liverpool fans.
A video of Alisson’s moment has been circulated on social media, much to the liking of the player’s wife, Natalia Becker. Linking a video of her husband, Natalia simply tweeted "Alisson" followed by a laughing emoji and a heart emoji.
