Everton’s danger man Beto forced Mamardashvilli to make a save inside the first five minutes. Beto also cleared a Liverpool corner in the 10th. The Toffes continued their hot start, forcing another save from the Reds.
Cody Gakpo had Liverpool’s first chance at goal in the 21st minute, but it was swatted away for a corner, which was eventually cleared. After an Everton goal was taken off the board due to offside, Liverpool scored moments later in a huge momentum shift. Gakpo forced a turnover high up the pitch. He delivered a weighted pass in the path of Mohamed Salah, and the Egyptian King did the rest with a tap-in and a 1-0 lead.
