LIVERPOOL: Liverpool continued their stranglehold over local rivals Everton to go top of the Premier League on Saturday (Oct 21), but had fortune on their side as Mohamed Salah's double secured a 2-0 win at Anfield.

Everton were left furious at the inconsistency of referee Craig Pawson as Ashley Young was sent off seven minutes before half-time for two bookable offences, while Ibrahima Konate escaped a second booking in the second-half with the scores still level.

No fixture has had more red cards in the Premier League era that clashes between these two and another sending-off proved decisive. Colombia's Diaz and Argentina's Alexis Mac Allister started, while Nunez was introduced off the bench after his starring role in Uruguay's 2-0 win over Brazil in midweek.Everton boss Sean Dyche introduced Keane at half-time to revert to a back five and the visitors restricted Liverpool to few clear chances to the frustration of the home support.
