First-Half Dominance Sees Reds Race Ahead
In the first half of the match, Ryan Gravenberch and Hugo Ekitike scored goals that put Arne Slot’s team in a strong position. However, a goal from Idrissa Gueye in the second half made the game more exciting for everyone watching, creating some tension for the home team. Despite the close finish, the hosts have impressively won all five of their league games so far this season.

Gravenberch scored a goal in the 10th minute after a great pass from Mohamed Salah. He skillfully hit the ball as it bounced, sending it past the diving goalkeeper, Jordan Pickford, into the net for an amazing finish.
New Signing Ekitike Doubles the Lead
New signing Ekitike, who played before Britain’s record signing Alexander Isak, increased the team’s lead in the 29th minute. He received a pass from Gravenberch, took a quick touch, and scored by sending the ball under the goalkeeper Pickford.
Everton Fight Back with Gueye Strike
Everton began to find their rhythm in the match, and Gueye scored a goal in the 58th minute. He hit a powerful shot that found the back of the net in the far left corner after Iliman Ndiaye made a smart play by redirecting Jack Grealish’s cross.
Tension filled the air during the last few minutes of an exciting match as heavy rain poured down. Everton was defending strongly in Liverpool’s half of the field, but despite their best efforts, they just couldn’t manage to score any goals.

After the game ended, Jack Grealish and Everton’s manager, David Moyes, quickly approached the referees to express their frustration. Grealish received a yellow card during the match, and at one point, Everton’s goalkeeper, Jordan Pickford, had to push him away.
