"Liverpool maintained their perfect start to the Premier League season with a narrow 2-1 victory over Everton in Saturday's Merseyside derby. Ryan Gravenberch put the hosts in front at Anfield with a superbly-controlled volley in the 10th minute before Hugo Ekitike -- selected ahead of Alexander Isak -- doubled the advantage in the first half. But despite that two-goal lead, Liverpool were once again made to sweat."
"Idrissa Gueye rifled one into the top corner just before the hour mark to put Arne Slot's side under pressure, although they hung on for another vital win. The Premier League champions have won all five games to start the season and sit at top of the table."
