[Liverpool](/soccer/team?id=364) forward [Cody Gakpo](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/249524/Cody-Gakpo) scored his first goal for the club as they halted a dismal run by beating struggling city rivals [Everton](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/198940/Everton) 2-0 at Anfield in the Premier League on Monday. "It's important we keep listening to the manager each day and we need to go again. "I know that Darwin is really fast so they had a corner and we played a one-two.

Spanish teenager Stefan Bajcetic was brave on the ball, as was Cody Gakpo, although Liverpool were not without some luck against Everton.
There is a directness to both of them that evokes the classic early Klopp sides, all pace and impatience, the shortest route to goal through the quickest means possible. The dizzying speed of the break stuns And most cheeringly of all, it is their new guard who make the best use of it. And the Spaniard is the perfect teacher: brave on the ball and an intelligent mover off it, the sort of player who always knows exactly how much time he has on the ball, who can speed play up or slow it down. And for all the riotous fun of the second half, there were also some warning signs for them. Perhaps the reason Liverpool start so badly is that they have lost the ability to self-motivate. Indeed for much of the first half-hour they looked like a pale shadow: frazzled, tired, dead behind the eyes. Even the flailing Trent Alexander-Arnold seemed to grow into this game, earning a second-half assist and unveiling his classic repertoire of crosses: the stinger, the zinger, the curler, the swirler, the roller, the high diagonal, the sly left-footer. The defensive display, particularly in the second half. The hopeful reading is that this comfortable win against their favourite opponents can restore a little of the old swagger, set them back on an upward path. Well, they always say the form book goes out of the window on derby day. At the conclusion of this game, as Liverpool’s players shared backslaps and embraces on the pitch, as Jürgen Klopp strode over to the Kop to punch the air with his harpoon-fist, as Anfield buzzed to the strains of “going down, going down, going down”, it was possible to sense a curious and unfamiliar vibe around this place.

This was a 'near miss' of a much more fatal situation. "Lessons must be learnt.

"The shame — beginning with the stadium billboard announcing kickoff was delayed due to fans arriving late, supporters being tear gassed and pepper sprayed, pickpocketed and attacked, people frightened they were going to die — is on them.'' Ultimately, the report found UEFA should bear "primary responsibility for failures which almost led to disaster,'' which — for many Liverpool fans — brought back memories of the tragedy at Hillsborough Stadium in 1989 that led to the death of 97 supporters of the club. UEFA had initially blamed Liverpool fans, some of whom were fired on by tear gas by police, for arriving at the stadium late and using fake tickets to try to gain entry.

I’m a realist and I know how tough the Premier League is." Victory in the Merseyside derby is always something to savor in these parts. I loved the atmosphere - it is an insane atmosphere people create here,” he said. “All games are important, but it’s fair to say people were wondering if we would get a point from our first two games," Dyche said. We probably had 70% possession and scored from two counters, that makes it special,” Klopp said. With three fist pumps in front of the home fans, Jurgen Klopp celebrated his 250th win as Liverpool manager after beating Everton 2-0 on Monday.

Hopefully we keep playing well and win more games." Stefan Bajcetic spoke to Sky Sports after being named the Player of the Match: "To be fair, I played in a different position. It is important we keep listening to the manager each day and we need to go again. We gave away two goals on the counter and that is massively disappointing. We want bravery at home and away from home from our fans and their energy. He has had a tough time so we need to monitor him." But then you cause trouble at the set piece, you want that to be part of your game.
