Liverpool 1-0 Everton
Diogo Jota’s goal drought is over. Slot arguably picked him too often during his wait for a goal but keeping faith with his preferred centre-forward brought a reward. His goal was a reminder of why Jurgen Klopp used to describe him as the best finisher at Anfield.

60 mins: There was a tinge of controversy to that goal.
Diaz was in an offside position when Tarkowski came across and prevented him from getting the ball – the moment that led to Jota gaining possession before he scored.
Diaz knew he was off and wasn’t trying to actively interfere, which is why the strike hasn’t been ruled out. But Toffees fans will surely take issue with that call nonetheless, as if nobody was behind Tarkowski, he may not have felt the need to stick a leg out.

The slightly worrying news for the VAR Paul Tierney is that even Duncan Ferguson, famously no shrinking violet, thought James Tarkowski deserved a red card for his challenge on Alexis Mac Allister in the first half. It may be a sign the officials were too lenient…

52 mins: SAVE! Gravenberch lets fly from range and Pickford gets down to parry – it’s not convincing and goes straight into the path of Salah, but the big leg of Branthwaite gets to the high ball first to knock out for a corner.
