Jurgen Klopp labelled Divock Origi a legend after his introduction to a frantic Merseyside derby helped Liverpool stay in hot pursuit of Manchester City.
Origi was introduced in the 60th minute, after Liverpool had spent most of their time huffing and puffing, and his first touch was a return pass to Mohamed Salah, whose cross to the back post enabled Andrew Robertson to break the deadlock.
The Belgium international will leave Anfield this summer, having not played enough games to win a new deal, but he will go, most likely to AC Milan, on a high after scoring his sixth goal in nine appearances against Everton – only Steven Gerrard (nine) has more in the Premier League era.
