Mohamed Salah Stars with Double in Emphatic Victory
Mohamed Salah's brace propelled Liverpool to a resounding 4-1 triumph over cross-town rivals Everton in the Merseyside derby on Saturday, Liverpool's biggest win in this fixture at Goodison Park.
First-Half Dominance

However, Everton showed resilience and reduced the deficit through Demarai Gray's strike in the 38th minute. Jordan Henderson restored Liverpool's two-goal advantage shortly after the break, and Salah put the game beyond doubt with his second goal in the 64th minute.
Late Consolation
Dominic Calvert-Lewin scored a late consolation goal for 10-man Everton, who had Mason Holgate sent off in the 84th minute. Despite the red card, Everton managed to avoid a bigger defeat and secure a point.
This victory extends Liverpool's unbeaten run in the Premier League to five games, while Everton take a vital step towards securing their top-flight status.
