Mohamed Salah got things started for Liverpool when he scored the opening goalin his final Merseyside derbyjust moments after Iliman Ndiaye’s goal was ruled out for offside by video review. Jake O’Brien found Ndiyae with a cross to the penalty spotbut O’Brien was well offside when the ball in behind Liverpool’s defense was played to him on the right wing. Seconds laterCody Gakpo threaded an inch-perfect pass through midfield and found Salah all be his lonesome on the opposite flank. Salah made no mistake with the finish and etched his name in derby history.

Beto pulled Everton level in the 54th minutethoughas Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall crossed the ball into the six-yard box and Beto slid in to touch it past Giorgi Mamardashvili. 1-1 looked like the likeliest outcome for agesbut the board went up indicating 11 minutes of stoppage time and one final twist seemed inevitable. Dominik Szoboszlai had a go from outside the box 10 minutes into stoppage timeblocked and deflected for a corner kick. Szoboszlai hooked a lofted ball to the top of the six and Van Dijk thumped it past Jordan Pickford who was perhaps impeded by O’Brien amid a sea of bodies.
