Jurgen Klopp’s first Merseyside derby ended in a comfortable victory as Liverpool beat 10-man Everton for their third consecutive Premier League win.
Divock Origi and Mamadou Sakho headed in two goals in as many minutes at the end of the first half.
Everton lost Ramiro Funes Mori for a nasty challenge on Origi, who had to be replaced by Daniel Sturridge.
The substitute then drove in a third before Philippe Coutinho’s curled finish completed an emphatic win.
The result keeps Liverpool in with an outside chance of a top-four finish. They are seventh on 54 points, six points behind Arsenal in fourth while Everton are 11th on 41 points.
