Liverpool’s player ratings in derby win – Everton go down 3-1 at Anfield

CB – Joel Matip: 7.2

Made defending look like a normal admin job. Lukaku was placed well in the central defensive pair’s pocket. A defender with a forward player’s passing accuracy of 90%, 44 passes made and no fouls committed. This man is slowly becoming irreplaceable in the back-line. The Cameroonian managed 5 tackles, making no error in the process. Lukaku vs Liverpool central defenders. Outcome? Lukaka’s location unknown.
