Liverpool continued their unbeaten run in the Premier League with a thrilling 2-1 victory over Everton at Anfield on Saturday.

The match was a hard-fought Merseyside derby, and despite the intense battle, David Moyes remains winless at Anfield throughout his career.

The game featured end-to-end action, with Liverpool on the back foot for much of the second half. However, goals from Hugo Ekitike and Ryan Gravenberch helped the Reds secure a crucial win.

Crouch Praises Liverpool's Midfield Talent

In a notable twist, this was the first Premier League match of the season that talented midfielder Florian Wirtz didn’t start. Instead, Dominik Szoboszlai assumed the number 10 role and delivered another standout performance.

Szoboszlai’s clever two-yard pass set up Ekitike's goal, a critical play that shifted the game’s momentum and potentially prevented a disappointing 1-1 draw.

Despite Wirtz’s absence, pundit Peter Crouch was full of praise for Liverpool’s midfield trio. ‘They’ve been fantastic,’ he exclaimed. ‘This is pure class; every midfielder has a touch. I’m not sure what Idrissa Gueye was thinking—that's terrible defending!’

Arne Slot's Challenge: Keeping the Momentum

A troubling pattern for Liverpool this season has been their tendency to struggle in the closing stages of matches, often relying on late-game heroics for victory.

Although Saturday's clash didn’t require a last-minute goal, the second half revealed cracks in Liverpool’s performance. Everton proved to be the dominant side after halftime, deserving at least one point for their efforts.

If Liverpool can maintain their intensity throughout the entire match, they could avoid unnecessary anxiety in future games. With their midfield showing such promise, the potential for success is bright!
