The victory lifts Liverpool into second place, even with Tottenham Hotspur, pending the outcome of Spurs' match at Burnley later on Saturday. The result also made Jurgen Klopp the first Liverpool manager to win his first three Merseyside derbies in the Premier League. Coutinho's goal was the standout moment, overshadowing Mane's goal as Everton paid for standing off the Senegal forward.
