Liverpool vs. Everton: Score, Reaction from 2016 Premier League Match

Liverpool bagged a 4-0 win in the Merseyside derby at Anfield on Wednesday, extending 10-man Everton’s winless streak in the Premier League to seven matches.

Another two chances came the Reds’ way with Lucas Leiva’s long-range effort forcing a stop from Robles before Lallana headed narrowly wide, and the Everton goalkeeper was required again on the half-hour mark to deny Roberto Firmino in a one-on-one as Liverpool turned the screw.

They took a deserved lead two minutes before the break through Origi, who rose above John Stones to head home James Milner’s cross, his fifth goal in five games. Milner was provider yet again in injury time, this time with Sakho powering in a header of his own, per Sky Sports Statto:
