Virgil van Dijk scored Liverpool’s sixth stoppage-time winner against Everton in the Premier League era as Arne Slot’s side snatched a 2-1 win in the first ever Merseyside derby at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Arne Slot’s side were second-best in the opening half an hour but went ahead through Mohamed Salah moments after Iliman Ndiaye had a goal ruled out for offside by VAR.
Beto’s equalizer had the hosts on the front foot again, but it was Liverpool who claimed all three points and boosted their chances of Champions League qualification.
Having exited the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain on Tuesday Liverpool would have been forgiven for tiring in the closing stages. But Slot utilised his five substitutions wisely and the visitors seized the initiative late on.
