Divock Origi came off the bench to make the difference as Liverpool secured a hard-fought 2-0 win over Everton in a feisty Merseyside derby on Sunday to close the gap at the top of the Premier League standings back to one point.

As well as keeping Liverpool in the title chase, a point behind leaders Manchester City, the result left Frank Lampard's Everton inside the relegation zone, in 18th place, two points behind Burnley, who have played one game more.

Mohamed Salah combined with substitute Origi before floating a cross to Robertson, who headed past the diving Jordan Pickford. Demarai Gray then went within inches of a stunning equaliser before substitute Origi finally ended all hope of an Everton comeback with a goal five minutes from time to put the game to bed.

His introduction with Diaz, when the game was goalless, proved to be a masterstroke by Klopp though Everton felt they should have had a penalty before that change. The lively Anthony Gordon went down under a challenge from Joel Matip in the 53rd minute but his appeal was waved away by referee Stuart Attwell.
