Liverpool secured a significant 2-0 victory against a 10-player Everton during the Merseyside derby at Anfield.

Mohamed Salah shone with a brace, while Ashley Young’s early red card left Everton struggling.

Ashley Young received his marching orders during the first half due to two bookable offenses, placing Sean Dyche’s side at a disadvantage.

Liverpool’s breakthrough came in the 74th minute when Mohamed Salah converted a penalty after Michael Keane’s handball.

The second goal from the Egyptian in stoppage time underscored Liverpool’s dominance, although it was a tough outcome for Everton, considering their resilience, especially after being reduced to 10 players.

There was a debatable moment just before Salah’s goal when Ibrahima Konate narrowly avoided a red card.

Dyche expressed his displeasure and received a booking, but his team’s resilience against the odds was commendable.

For Liverpool and manager Jurgen Klopp, this hard-fought victory marked the end of a two-game winless streak.
