Gravenberch Gets 8.5, Ekitike With 8 | Liverpool Players Rated In Hard-Fought Win Vs Everton | OneFootball

Liverpool welcomed Everton at Anfield earlier today as they hoped to secure a win in the Merseyside derby. The Reds made a bright start to the game and got their noses ahead in the tenth minute thanks to Ryan Gravenberch’s excellent finish. Hugo Ekitike doubled Liverpool’s advantage with a clinical finish in the 29th minute as Arne Slot’s men went into the half-time break 2-0 up on the scoreline.

Idrissa Gueye got a goal back for the Toffees with a great strike in the 58th minute. However, Liverpool hung on to their slender advantage and secured a hard-fought 2-1 win at Anfield.

Let’s take a look at how each Liverpool player performed during the match against the Toffees.

The Brazilian keeper made one solid save at the back but failed to keep a clean sheet this afternoon.

RB: Conor Bradley – 6.5/10

He performed his defensive duties well but offered very little going forward.

Konate put his foot through the ball when he could but won’t be pleased about conceding a goal in the second half.

CB: Virgil Van Dijk – 7/10

He earned possession back twice and dealt with the danger when needed.
