Liverpool 2-1 Everton: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Ladbrokes’ post-match review of Liverpool 2-1 Everton in the Premier League on Saturday, 20 September 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

Well, what a cracking match at Anfield! Liverpool edged out Everton 2-1, keeping their winning streak alive and kicking. The Reds have been on fire lately, with four wins on the trot, and this result was no surprise. Ryan Gravenberch and Hugo Ekitike got the goals early on, setting the tone for the match. Everton fought back with a goal from Idrissa Gana Gueye, but it wasn't enough to spoil the party. Liverpool's form is looking solid, and they're showing no signs of slowing down.

Everton, on the other hand, will be gutted to come away with nothing from this one. They've had a mixed bag recently, with a win, a draw, and now this loss. The Toffees showed some fight, especially with Gueye's goal, but Liverpool's early lead was too much to overcome. It's back to the drawing board for Sean Dyche's men, who need to find a way to turn their performances into points.

The stats from this match tell a story of Liverpool's dominance, but also highlight Everton's resilience. With 57% possession, Liverpool controlled the game, but Everton's 43% wasn't far behind. The corner count was close, with Liverpool taking 5 and Everton 4, showing both teams had their moments in attack. What's interesting is Everton's higher successful dribble percentage at 63% compared to Liverpool's 59%. Despite this, Liverpool's two assists to Everton's one made the difference in the end.

The yellow card count was a bit higher for Everton with three, compared to Liverpool's two, indicating a slightly more physical approach from the visitors. No red cards or penalties were handed out, keeping the game relatively clean. The stats align well with the result, showing Liverpool's control but also Everton's ability to stay in the fight.

The match kicked off with a bang, as Ryan Gravenberch put Liverpool ahead in the 10th minute. This early goal set the tone for the Reds, giving them the confidence to push forward. Hugo Ekitike doubled the lead in the 29th minute, and it looked like Liverpool were cruising. However, the game changed when Idrissa Gana Gueye pulled one back for Everton in the 58th minute, making for a nervy finish.

Liverpool made some key substitutions in the second half, bringing on Curtis Jones, Florian Wirtz, and Alexander Isak. These changes helped them maintain control and see out the win. Everton also made their moves, with Thiemo Barry coming on at halftime and Tyler Dibling and Carlos Alcaraz entering late in the game. Despite these efforts, Liverpool held firm to secure the three points.

Liverpool lined up with a strong squad, featuring the likes of Alisson, Virgil van Dijk, and Mohamed Salah. No real surprises in the starting XI, but the impact of Ryan Gravenberch and Hugo Ekitike was crucial. Gravenberch's goal and assist were game-changers, while Ekitike's finish added to the early lead. The substitutions of Curtis Jones, Florian Wirtz, and Alexander Isak in the second half helped maintain the momentum and secure the win.

Everton's lineup was solid, with Jordan Pickford in goal and a backline led by James Tarkowski. The midfield trio of Idrissa Gueye, James Garner, and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall worked hard, but it was Gueye's goal that gave them hope. No major surprises in the starting lineup, but the substitutions of Thiemo Barry, Tyler Dibling, and Carlos Alcaraz didn't quite have the desired impact. Despite their efforts, Everton couldn't find the equaliser they needed.

Ryan Gravenberch is Ladbrokes’ Man of the Match, and it's no surprise why. With a goal and an assist, he was instrumental in Liverpool's victory. His big chance created and key pass highlight his influence on the game, making him the standout performer on the pitch. Gravenberch's contributions were crucial in securing the three points for the Reds.
