Liverpool's bright future keeps Everton in relegation zone (ESPN)

Cody Gakpo and Darwin Nunez looked particularly good as Liverpool's first league win of 2023 keeps Everton sweating over their top-flight future.

[Demarai Gray](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/194403/Demarai-Gray) and [Anthony Gordon](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/268782/Anthony-Gordon), now a Newcastle player, are their joint leading scorers in the league with just three goals each. The Everton left-back was tormented all night long by Salah and [Trent Alexander-Arnold](https://www.espn.com/soccer/player/_/id/223532/Trent-Alexander-Arnold), and lost the ball too often. Everton: The Toffees are also in action on Saturday, when they welcome Leeds to Goodison Park for a clash of 17th vs. If he continues to be in and out of the team, as he has been all season, Everton will find it tough to score the goals they need to stay up. [Benfica](/soccer/team?id=1929), registered an assist for Salah's opening goal while Gakpo finally scored his first Liverpool goal since arriving in a £37 million switch from [PSV Eindhoven](/soccer/team?id=148) last month. No lack of effort or work ethic, it's still tough coming here, but [Liverpool] are a great side." With Nunez making one goal and Gakpo scoring another, though, this was a good night for two of Liverpool's big hopes for the future. Hopefully it was a start." For Liverpool, that is all about finding the form to make a late charge up the table to seal a top-four finish and The absence of centre-forward If Liverpool and Everton are to save their seasons, though, both need to be better than they were at Anfield in this game. While the win boosted Liverpool's faint hopes of finishing in the top four, the defeat left Everton in the relegation zone ahead of their crucial clash against Leeds United on Saturday.

Liverpool call for Uefa action after report on final (BBC Sport)

Liverpool call on Uefa to "fully and transparently" implement the recommendations made in an independent report on the events before last season's Champions ...

This was a 'near miss' of a much more fatal situation. "Lessons must be learnt. "What should have been the highlight of the season for travelling supporters of Liverpool and Real Madrid - in Uefa's words a 'festival of football' - turned out to be a maelstrom of chaos and alarm that led to some fans fearing for their life," the group said. Uefa and French authorities initially blamed ticketless Liverpool fans for the events, but the report - released on Monday - said there was "no evidence" to support the "reprehensible" claims. The club added the "fundamental safety failings" had "exacerbated the suffering" of the families, friends and survivors of Hillsborough. Liverpool want Uefa to "fully and transparently" fulfil recommendations made in an independent report on the events before last season's Champions League final in Paris.

Liverpool have implored Uefa to fully implement the recommendations made in the damning independent report on last year's Champions League final chaos.

Our thoughts go out to all our fans who have suffered as a result of Paris and we would remind them of the mental health support we put in place in the days following the disaster that was the Uefa Champions League final in Paris.” “We implore Uefa to fully enact the recommendations as outlined by the panel – no matter how difficult – to ensure supporter safety is the number one priority at the heart of every Uefa football fixture.” The club has called on Uefa to transparently implement the report’s 21 recommendations to ensure the safety of all supporters attending a Uefa-organised game.

Of the refund scheme, they said: “It’s important to understand that what is required here is more than just a ticket refund. It’s about accountability and about learning lessons for the future. The central finding of the review panel, which was chaired by a Portuguese MP, Tiago Brandão Rodrigues, was that Uefa had “primary responsibility” for the safety failures that almost led to a “mass fatality catastrophe”.

Liverpool beat both Man United and Brexit to sign new star Stefan ... (Daily Mail)

Jurgen Klopp subbed Stefan Bajcetic off so he could receive the thunderous appreciation from the Anfield crowd he so richly deserved.

They really needed that 2-0 win over their local rivals having won just once in seven games since the turn of the year. It was, all told, quite the night. Liverpool beat both Man United and Brexit to sign £224,000 Stefan Bajcetic... Injuries to key midfielders this season further accelerated his progress, with a senior debut coming of the bench in the 9-0 thrashing of Bournemouth back in August and a first start against Derby in the Carabao Cup in November. In a further indication of his versatility, Bajcetic was originally earmarked as a central defender but the club feared he might be too small to compete with physical Premier League defenders. 'It's crazy, I was playing Under-18s a year ago and now I am playing at Anfield and that just happened in one year,' said the starry-eyed teenager in his mixed accent of Spanish and Scouse.

Youth of Stefan Bajcetic helps Liverpool find glimpses of old selves (The Guardian)

Spanish teenager Stefan Bajcetic was brave on the ball, as was Cody Gakpo, although Liverpool were not without some luck against Everton.

There is a directness to both of them that evokes the classic early Klopp sides, all pace and impatience, the shortest route to goal through the quickest means possible. The dizzying speed of the break stuns And most cheeringly of all, it is their new guard who make the best use of it. And the Spaniard is the perfect teacher: brave on the ball and an intelligent mover off it, the sort of player who always knows exactly how much time he has on the ball, who can speed play up or slow it down. And for all the riotous fun of the second half, there were also some warning signs for them. Perhaps the reason Liverpool start so badly is that they have lost the ability to self-motivate. Indeed for much of the first half-hour they looked like a pale shadow: frazzled, tired, dead behind the eyes. Even the flailing Trent Alexander-Arnold seemed to grow into this game, earning a second-half assist and unveiling his classic repertoire of crosses: the stinger, the zinger, the curler, the swirler, the roller, the high diagonal, the sly left-footer. The defensive display, particularly in the second half. The hopeful reading is that this comfortable win against their favourite opponents can restore a little of the old swagger, set them back on an upward path. Well, they always say the form book goes out of the window on derby day. At the conclusion of this game, as Liverpool’s players shared backslaps and embraces on the pitch, as Jürgen Klopp strode over to the Kop to punch the air with his harpoon-fist, as Anfield buzzed to the strains of “going down, going down, going down”, it was possible to sense a curious and unfamiliar vibe around this place.
