Premier League: Liverpool Extend Perfect Start With Derby Win Over Everton

By IANS News September 20, 2025 • 21:14 PM View: 596

English Premier League: Liverpool maintained their flawless start to the club's Premier League title defence with a fifth straight win, overcoming cross-town rivals Everton 2-1 in the Merseyside derby at Anfield here on Saturday.

Arne Slot's side seized control early, as Ryan Gravenberch lifted Mohamed Salah's pass into the net after just 10 minutes. The Dutch midfielder then turned provider before the half-hour mark, slipping in Hugo Ekitike to beat Jordan Pickford with a precise low strike.

Liverpool's depth was underlined by the fact that 241 million-pound summer recruits, Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak, remained on the bench until the second half.
