Ibrahima Konate cleared and the Reds roared up the other end within seconds with Young making a vital block to deny Diaz.<\/p>\n<p>Their individual battle was key. Young was booked for fouling the Colombian early on and that had consequences after 37 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>The veteran lunged in to tackle his winger just outside the box. There was no malice in the challenge but he was late, caught the man instead of the ball and referee Craig Pawson showed him a second yellow.<\/p>\n<p>Young chirped away at the decision as he trudged off having become at 38 years, 104 days the third-oldest player to be sent off in the Premier League, behind Stuart Pearce and Phil Jagielka.<\/p>\n<p>It was also the 23rd red card shown in the Merseyside derby during the Premier League era &#8211; a record f of any fixture.<\/p>\n<p>Liverpool hadn\u2019t created much by half-time. Trent Alexander-Arnold, whose Range was damaged by Storm Babet last week, put a free-kick into the wall. Salah\u2019s curler was wide and Alexander-Arnold\u2019s fizzed a cross into the six-yard box that none of his team-mates could reach.<\/p>\n<p>Dyche responded at the interval by sending on defenders Michael Keane and Nathan Patterson for wingers Harrison and McNeil, turning Everton into a 5-3-1.<\/p>\n<p>Keane and Jarrad Branthwaite gave each other a defenders\u2019 high-five when they charged down shots in the same attack.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/21\/15\/76836105-12656489-Luis_Diaz_s_quick_feet_and_cross_proved_vital_for_the_home_side_-a-20_1697897796115.jpg\" height=\"675\" width=\"962\"><\/p>\n<p>Luis Diaz&#8217;s quick feet and cross proved vital for the home side as Michael Keane was penalised for handball in the latter stages<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/21\/15\/76836087-12656489-Craig_Pawson_was_instructed_to_review_the_incident_on_the_pitchs-a-21_1697897796116.jpg\" height=\"635\" width=\"962\"><\/p>\n<p>Craig Pawson was instructed to review the incident on the pitchside monitor before finally awarding a penalty for Liverpool\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/21\/15\/76835653-12656489-Mohamed_Salah_decisively_dispatched_his_penalty_to_give_Liverpoo-a-22_1697897796118.jpg\" height=\"632\" width=\"962\"><\/p>\n<p>Mohamed Salah decisively dispatched his penalty to give Liverpool the lead against a stubborn Everton side down to ten<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/10\/21\/15\/76836085-12656489-Liverpool_s_talisman_added_a_second_deep_into_stoppage_time_as_t-a-23_1697897796119.jpg\" height=\"643\" width=\"962\"><\/p>\n<p>Liverpool&#8217;s talisman added a second deep into stoppage time as the vistors attempted to grab a late equaliser at Anfield<\/p>\n<p>Onana\u2019s desperation to keep pace with Diaz saw him fall head-first over the advertising in the Kop.<\/p>\n<p>Jurgen Klopp sent on Darwin Nunez and Harvey Elliott after an hour and the pressure became too hot for Everton to handle.<\/p>\n<p>They were lucky to escape without conceding a penalty when Nathan Patterson slid into Diaz but the winger got his revenge when his cross was blocked by Keane\u2019s outstretched arm and VAR gave the penalty.<\/p>\n<p>Dominik Szoboszlai had initially taken the ball but it was Salah who eventually took responsibility, after 75 minutes &#8211; emphatically sending Pickford the wrong way for his 200th league goal.<\/p>\n<p>There were groans from The Kop when nine minutes of injury-time was signalled but they needn\u2019t have worried.
