Liverpool takes derby honours against Everton
Diogo Jota was the hero as Liverpool edged out Everton 1-0 in the Merseyside derby on to restore its 12-point cushion at the top of the Premier League.
It was Everton's first league defeat in 10 games, but the Toffees did have the ball in the net during the first half.
However, Beto was denied by the offside flag in the 20th minute, while he also struck the post after racing through on goal.
Jota delivered the decisive blow in the 57th minute, latching onto Luis Diaz's clever flick before his neat finish secured the Reds’ 100th victory over the Toffees in all competitions.
Arne Slot's side is once again 12 points clear of second-place Arsenal, which had reduced the deficit with victory over Fulham on Wednesday (AEDT), while Everton stays 15th.
