Liverpool v Everton player ratings: One to forget for Salah, Firmino and Mane, while Keane and Richarlison impress

It's now Liverpool's worst home league run since 1923 after 2-0 defeat

• 

  LIVERPOOL RATINGS: Alisson Becker, 6 - The Brazilian made a tremendous save from Coleman’s first-half header and went for long periods with nothing to do. He was let down by the defenders for the first goal and had no chance of saving the penalty. Getty

• 

  Trent Alexander-Arnold, 7 - The full back was the team’s greatest source of danger and he put in some tempting crosses. He was very unlucky to concede a penalty. Reuters

• 

  Ozan Kabak, 4 - The 20-year-old struggled from the start, first with the wind and then he allowed Richarlison to run in behind him to score. He was booked before half time for a daft challenge on Coleman. Getty

• 

  Jordan Henderson, 7 - The captain went close with a first-half effort from outside the box that needed a brilliant save from Pickford but hurt his groin after being pulled back by Doucoure. Replaced by Phillips after 30 minutes. EPA

• 

  Andrew Robertson, 5 - Everton’s tactics neutralised the Scot. He worked hard but was unable to create much positive momentum on a frustrating evening. AP

• 

  Georginio Wijnaldum, 5 - The Dutchman did the hard running in the middle of the park against an opposition midfield designed to disrupt rather than create. He showed signs of tiring in the second half. AFP

• 

  Thiago Alcantara, 4 - The 29-year-old should have been closer to Rodriguez in the build-up to the first goal. He showed few signs of being able to unlock the massed defence. Taken off for Origi with three minutes left. PA

• 

  Curtis Jones, 5 - The 20-year-old sent in the odd cross but could not stamp any authority on the game. He pressed energetically but was withdrawn after 63 minutes for Shaqiri. Reuters

• 

  Mohamed Salah, 5 - The Egyptian forced an important block from Pickford but looked at his liveliest outside the area. He found little space in the congested penalty box. Reuters

• 

  Roberto Firmino, 5 - The Brazilian was forced deep and showed some clever touches on the ball without worrying the defence too much. He had a shot blocked but rarely looked like scoring. EPA

• 

  Sadio Mane, 5 - Threatened in the air but should have been more productive with two free headers. Everton put a lot of thought into stopping the Senegalese and the plan worked. PA

• 

  SUBS: Nathaniel Phillips, 6 - Joined the action after half an hour when Henderson limped off. The 23-year-old was strong in the air and gave his team an aerial presence in the Everton box. EPA

• 

  Xherdan Shaqiri, 4 - Replaced Jones with 27 minutes to go but was no more effective than the man he replaced. His passes tended to be overhit and his runs with the ball overambitious. AP

• 

  Divock Origi, 5 - A desperate and pointless substitute with three minutes left. The Belgian did nothing to disturb the Everton defence. On for Thiago as Liverpool committed to all-out attack. AP

• 

  EVERTON RATINGS: Jordan Pickford, 8 - The goalkeeper made excellent saves from Henderson and Alexander-Arnold in the first half and blocked Salah in the second. The 26-year-old exorcised some of his Anfield demons with his best display for some time. EPA

• 

  Seamus Coleman, 7 - The Irishman should have scored with a first-half header on one of his relatively rare excursions forward. His defensive work was formidable in a disciplined effort. AP

• 

  Mason Holgate, 8 - The 24-year-old was composed and diligent when the pressure was on. He showed bravery and intelligence on one clearance close to his own goal-line. AP

• 

  Michael Keane, 9 - The centre back made a tremendous tackle to deny Mane and marshalled the defence throughout the game. He grew in stature when things got tense in the second half. Reuters

• 

  Ben Godfrey, 8 - The 23-year-old showed his range of abilities on the left of a three-man central defence. He was quick to block shooting chances and he cut out a number of potentially troublesome situations. Reuters

• 

  Lucas Digne, 7 - The Frenchman had problems with the wind in the first half but was secure defensively once he settled down. He delivered a splendid cross to provide a headed chance for Coleman. EPA

• 

  Abdoulaye Doucoure, 5 - The midfielder gave the ball away in dangerous situations a number of times. The Frenchman was sloppy in possession but rugged in the challenge, which was important as Everton protected the lead. EPA

• 

  Tom Davies, 8 - The Scouser enjoyed a robust derby, putting himself about and making life uncomfortable for Liverpool’s midfield. Not the most elegant player on the pitch but he was effective. Getty

• 

  Andre Gomes, 5 - The Portuguese offered little and could have picked up a yellow card much earlier than he did after some dubious challenges. Substituted for Sigurdsson with 31 minutes left. Getty

• 

  James Rodriguez, 7 - The Colombian provided a superb ball for Richarlison to open the scoring but the nature of the derby – and the wind – did not suit him. He was replaced by Calvert-Lewin with 28 minutes to go but his one moment of magic defined the course of the match. AP

• 

  Richarlison, 8 - The Brazilian produced a great run and a clinical finish for the opening goal and played the ball through for Calvert-Lewin to earn the penalty. Taken off for Iwobi with four minutes to go after giving everything for the team

• 

  SUBS: Gylfi Sigurdsson, 7 - The experienced Icelandic midfielder replaced Gomes just before the hour mark. He put in plenty of effort and kept his cool when scoring from the penalty spot to seal the game

• 

  Dominic Calvert-Lewin, 8 - The 23-year-old striker came on for Rodriguez after 62 minutes and led the line superbly. He forced Alexander-Arnold into the challenge that gave Everton the penalty that put the match beyond doubt

• 

  Alex Iwobi, 5 - Sent on to help kill the match off when Richarlison departed after 86 minutes. He did his job adequately enough. AFP

Everton deepened Liverpool's Premier League troubles by winning at Anfield for the first time since 1999, a 2-0 triumph that consigned the champions to a fourth successive home defeat.

It's Liverpool's worst home league run since 1923 and leaves Jurgen Klopp's side 16 points behind leader Manchester City and with Everton only behind on goal difference with a game in hand.

Everton's intention was clear from the start to get the ball forward and put the inexperienced Liverpool central defensive partnership of Jordan Henderson and Ozan Kabak under pressure.

It paid off after just two minutes and 25 seconds as Kabak's weak headed clearance fell to James Rodriguez, who slipped in a pass behind the on-loan Schalke centre-back. Richarlison ran on to fire an angled drive across goalkeeper Alisson Becker.

Hopes of a comeback were thwarted by Trent Alexander-Arnold bringing down substitute Calvert-Lewin and Gylfi Sigurdsson scoring from a penalty in the 83rd minute.
