The hoodoo is over. Below, theScore picks the best statistics to surface following Everton’s overdue victory against Liverpool on Saturday.<\/em><\/p>\n

0:<\/strong> Everton and Liverpool are level in the Premier League table on 40 points after the former’s 2-0 triumph at Anfield. The Toffees had 30 points at this stage of last season, while Liverpool had 73.<\/p>\n

1:<\/strong> Total shots attempted by Reds triumvirate Roberto Firmino, Sadio Mane, and Mohamed Salah in Saturday’s first half. They added six in the second.<\/p>\n

2:<\/strong> Richarlison’s third-minute opener is the second-earliest goal Liverpool conceded against Everton in the Premier League. The earliest was Olivier Dacourt’s first-minute strike in April 1999.<\/p>\n

3 – Richarlison is only the third Everton player to score in back-to-back Premier League appearances at Anfield for the club, after Tim Cahill in March 2006 and Kevin Campbell in October 2000. Scourge. pic.twitter.com\/qzdHY0mYaU<\/p>\n

5:<\/strong> Gylfi Sigurdsson has enjoyed plenty of success at Anfield over the course of his career in England. He’s scored five goals at Liverpool – more than he’s notched in away games against any other opponent.<\/p>\n

6:<\/strong> Saves made by Jordan Pickford in Saturday’s Merseyside derby.<\/p>\n

8:<\/strong> The Toffees are now unbeaten in eight consecutive matches on the road, equaling their best away run in the Premier League.<\/p>\n

18:<\/strong> Tally of different center-back pairings used by Liverpool this season. Ozan Kabak and Nathaniel Phillips was the newest combination in Jurgen Klopp’s rearguard following Jordan Henderson’s first-half injury.<\/p>\n

24:<\/strong> Liverpool’s unbeaten streak in Merseyside derbies before the weekend’s showdown. It was their longest-ever run without defeat against a single opponent.<\/p>\n

34:<\/strong> Deficit between Liverpool’s goal difference at this stage of last season (+45) and their current goal difference (+11). They’ve scored 45 goals and conceded 34 times so far this term, while their record after 25 outings in the 2019-20 campaign was 60 scored and 15 conceded.<\/p>\n

68:<\/strong> The Reds’ unbeaten streak at home before things started to go sour against Burnley in January.<\/p>\n

355:<\/strong> Trent Alexander-Arnold’s age in days when Everton recorded their previous win at Anfield in September 1999. Francis Jeffers assisted Kevin Campbell’s match-winning goal on that day.<\/p>\n

1923:<\/strong> The year Liverpool last lost four consecutive home games. The reigning champions are suffering a historic slump.<\/p>\n

2002:<\/strong> The year Liverpool were last defeated in four straight league matches. Back then, Gerard Houllier was in charge and his top two scorers were Michael Owen and Milan Baros.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
