Photograph: Peter Byrne/PA WirMohamed Salah became the first Liverpool player since Peter Beardsley 32 years ago to score in Anfield’s opening four league matches with both goals in a 2-0 victory over 10-man Everton in the 243rd Merseyside derby.
Egypt international Salah’s penalty was the 15th consecutive Premier League match in which he had either scored or assisted and brought up Liverpool’s 50th goal against Everton at Anfield in the Premier League.Liverpool enjoy home comforts but Sean Dyche’s Everton offer derby dangerIt was also his 200th career league goal, but his second was his 104th at home for Liverpool, taking him past greats Kenny Dalglish and Steven Gerrard into fifth place on the club’s all-time Anfield scorers list.
Luis Diaz looked to have somewhat bought the first yellow when he went down after a tackle on the halfway line but once referee Craig Pawson had given that he had no option when Everton’s right back brought down the Colombia international on the edge of the area. After that it was virtually one-way traffic, although Liverpool’s best openings seemed to come on the counterattack and often from Everton attacking set pieces.
But Klopp’s side were nowhere near their sharpest in the final third and that played right into Everton’s hands. Konate, whom Everton’s coaching staff felt should also have had a second yellow card for a foul on Calvert-Lewin’s replacement Beto, was also removed for his own good.
