In this match, with home field advantage and a squad of players of superior quality, Liverpool easily controlled the game. However, coach Arnet Slot's team encountered many difficulties when Everton played extremely resilient defense.

Liverpool had a lot of possession and launched continuous attacks but were not really effective. On the contrary, Everton were under pressure but were the team with more dangerous opportunities. The most notable of which was Beto's shot that hit the post in the 33rd minute.

In the second half, Liverpool increased their attack in search of a goal. Finally, Liverpool's efforts were rewarded in the 57th minute. Diogo Jota performed solo in Everton's penalty area before unleashing a surprise shot that left Jordan Pickford helpless, scoring the opening goal of the match.

After the goal, Liverpool slowed down, trying to control the game and not give Everton a chance to fight back. Everton also tried to make substitutions in the hope of turning the game around. However, all their efforts were in vain.

In the end, Liverpool won 1-0. Coach Slot's team took another big step towards the championship. After 30 rounds, Liverpool is temporarily leading with 73 points, 12 points more than the second-placed team, Arsenal.
