Sadio Mane and Coutinho were arguably the two best players at Anfield as Liverpool defeated Everton 3-1 to extend their unbeaten Merseyside derby record at home

Liverpool had Adam Lallana and Jordan Henderson both unavailable for the Merseyside derby, which was expected to be a tough affair. But, Jurgen Klopp ‘s men managed a comfortable 3-1 win over their local rivals to further cement their top-4 aspirations.

Sadio Mane opened the scoring for the Reds and was a nuisance throughout while Coutinho also managed to get himself on the scoresheet while his pass found Origi open to set up the third. The duo were hailed by the Kop army on Twitter.
