Read from the beginning here.
Everton looked to have woken from their slumber and were about to give us something to look forward to when they pulled one back with seven minutes of the first half left. The returning Richarlison hit a through ball to Gray, who found space between the two Liverpool centre backs and slotted past Alisson Becker, who had rushed out to close him down.
The game was beginning to gather momentum in the closing stages of the first half as both teams saw last minute blocks deny them goals in additional time of the first half. Godfrey had blocked a goal-bound header from Mane, before Thiago Alcantara blocked Abdoullae Doucoure's effort at the far post.
It took the visitors four minutes after the hour mark to restore their 2-goal lead. Again, lack of concentration from Everton and Gray's pass to Coleman in the middle was poor, leading to a bad first touch by the latter, which was pounced on by Salah. The Liverpool forward raced through on goal and under pressure from the recovering Coleman, he sneaked the ball below Pickford into the bottom right corner.
Jota would continue his impressive run of goalscoring form in the 79th minute as he put the game beyond Everton's reach with a fourth. What looked like a short pass to him from Robertson, he stretched to maintain possession, shrugging off the attention of Allan and dragging the ball towards an acute angle on the left, before firing into the roof of the net above Pickford to confirm three points for Klopp's men.
Concluding Thoughts
It was another classy Liverpool performance as they maintained touch with the log leaders, retaining their third position, following wins by both Chelsea and Manchester City in first and second positions respectively.
The amazing Reds continued their impressive scoring record as they have now scored at least two goals in their last 18 matches in all competitions and already have 43 goals in the League alone this season, 10 more than the second best, Chelsea.
It's going from bad to worse for Rafa Benitez as he saw his side Slip to their third consecutive league defeat. They have managed just one point from their last five games, leaving the former Liverpool boss' job under threat.
