Liverpool 1-0 Everton PLAYER RATINGS: Which defender relished the derby? Who had a wasteful and frustrating night? And which Reds star was back to his best?

Liverpool took another step closer to their second Premier League title on Wednesday with a 1-0 victory over Everton in the Merseyside derby.

The Toffees frustrated Arne Slot's side for the duration of the first half and nearly took the lead when Beto rattled the woodwork, heading in level at the break.

But Liverpool found a way through Diogo Jota just before the hour mark and put in a solid defensive display to avoid a repeat of the last Merseyside derby, when James Tarkowski equalised at the death to claim a 2-2 draw.
