Liverpool Wins Merseyside Derby

The historic match appeared to be heading for a draw after Everton's Beto cancelled out Mohamed Salah's opening goal.

Van Dijk's late heroics silenced the home crowd and provided a vital boost for manager Arne Slot's side.

The game was marred by a serious injury to Liverpool goalkeeper Giorgi Mamardashvili, who was stretchered off following a collision.

Everton manager David Moyes expressed frustration over the 'cruel' finish and a controversial first-half penalty denial.
