Virgil van Dijk headed in a 100th-minute winner for Liverpool as they beat Everton 2-1 in the first-ever Merseyside derby at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
The Liverpool captain rose above James Tarkowski to nod his side to victory in the most dramatic of endings as Arne Slot's big players stood up. Mohamed Salah had slotted the Reds in front in the first half only for Beto to find an equaliser early in the second.
David Moyes would have felt that was the least that his side deserved after a combative performance but the nightmare of derby defeat at their new home became reality when Dominik Szoboszlai swung in a corner that was met by Van Dijk for a stunning final word.
The win takes Liverpool seven points clear of sixth-placed Chelsea with five games to play as they take a big step towards Champions League qualification next season. Moyes' men miss the chance to go sixth and remain tenth in the Premier League table.
