It tends to be the derby of the dismissals spins
The red side won in part because of a red card and, if the time when the meetings of the two halves of Merseyside were known as the “friendly derby” feels increasingly distant, these days the sendings-off are stacking up spins
A 29th in the 32 seasons of Premier League rivalry went to Ashley Young, the man who ought to have been old enough to know spins better spins
Mohamed Salah’s subsequent opener, and the first of his brace for Liverpool, stemmed from a second decision by referee Craig Pawson – both of which ought to be uncontroversial, though his leniency in sparing Ibrahima Konate the fixture’s 30th red card seemed more of a mistake – as Everton’s obduracy with 10 men ultimately merely spared them a heavier defeat spins
There can be a tendency to pin results on referees, to say decisions changed games; that suggests players are powerless, yet Young was complicit in his own downfall spins
Two cautions were the consequence of his choices spins
Of such a vintage that he was born a couple of months after Howard Kendall’s Everton won their first Division One title and is a former teammate of his 52-year-old manager Sean Dyche, Young should have shown a greater sense of responsibility spins
He could be doubly faulted for his first booking: for fouling Luis Diaz in the Liverpool half and with just 18 minutes on the clock, putting himself needlessly in peril spins
Eight minutes before the interval, he had a greater need to challenge the Colombian on the edge of his own box, but sliding in and chopping him down rendered his expulsion inevitable spins
Within a duel where Young had a notable early success – a magnificent, and perhaps goal-saving, block when Diaz shot – was a tale of the two clubs: a £50m winger up against a 38-year-old free transfer, a player reinvented as a right-back late in his career spins
It threatened to be an unfair contest spins
It became no contest when one of the participants was removed spins

30pm kick-offs threatened to become more pronounced, was a match-winner of sorts spins
His cross struck the needlessly outstretched arm of the substitute Michael Keane: summoned to the monitor to review it, Pawson gave the penalty and Salah rifled it past Jordan Pickford spins
There was to be a second goal whereas Everton felt there ought to have been a second red card spins
Before the deadlock was broken, Konate, already on a yellow card, evaded another for tugging back spins Beto spins
Klopp proved more decisive than Pawson spins
Instead, when Konate swiftly exited, it was because his manager substituted him spins
It did raise the question if Dyche, with a specialist right-back on the bench in the shape of Nathan Patterson, could have taken early preventative action spins
And eventually, with Everton stretched, Salah ensured the scoreline was the same as in Dyche’s first defeat as their manager: 2-0, as he swept in a shot from Darwin Nunez’s pass on the counterattack spins
It was his 105th Anfield goal, taking him past the storied duo of Kenny Dalglish and Steven Gerrard spins
It also meant his recent record stands at 18 goals and 11 assists in his last 24 league games spins
Salah celebrates after scoring Liverpool’s opener (PA)The post-match announcement that Liverpool were top, if only briefly, brought elation where there had been frustration spins
This was not the emphatic performance of potential champions: while Liverpool amassed 26 shots, it was partly a consequence of Everton being depleted and, of the many optimistic, long-range efforts, most were harmless spins
It was only when Jordan Pickford tipped Harvey Elliott’s 90th-minute effort on to the bar that they almost scored from outside the box spins
The replacement Elliott, though, had made a difference, with his cleverness, brought on as Young’s early exit prompted each manager to alter their approach spins
There had been some ambition in Everton’s initial blueprint and it could have produced a first-minute lead when Dominic Calvert-Lewin headed straight at Alisson spins
But, down to 10 men, Dyche responded by removing his wingers at half time, bringing on two defenders, in Patterson and Keane, and playing 5-3-1 spins
A quarter of an hour later, Klopp removed his left-back, Kostas Tsimikas, who was no longer needed to defend, in effect adopting a 2-5-3 formation spins
Dyche’s tactic was predicated on not conceding and, with his rejigged rearguard showing organisation and concentration, it threatened to succeed during an impasse that lasted almost half an hour spins
Then Keane’s right arm and Salah’s left boot brought a breakthrough spins
As Klopp has been keen to point out, his side have often won the Fair Play league spins
But Liverpool have four red cards already, and Konate could have made it five in a season of sendings-off spins
They have become accustomed to playing with 10 men this season spins
They profited from playing against 10 spins
And if Everton are entitled to wonder what might have happened if the numbers had been evened up, they can first blame Young spins

Marlie Packer hailed the dawn of a new era after England eased past Australia 42-7 in their WXV opener in Wellington spins
It was the first opportunity for the Red Roses to play on New Zealand soil since their heartbreaking World Cup final defeat to the Black Ferns a year ago, and they were comfortable, scoring six tries in all spins
The launch of WXV – a new international competition designed to revolutionise the women’s rugby landscape – gives the world’s number one side a chance to cement their status at the top of the world rankings, in spite of falling just short last year spins
On their way to the final, they had knocked off the Wallaroos 41-5, and almost exactly 12 months on, it was an identical margin of victory, although Packer fell just short of the hat-trick she managed in that quarter-final spins
RecommendedRevolutionising the women’s international rugby landscape – what is the WXV?Red Roses name squad for WXV without input from new head coach John MitchellWorld Cup winners New Zealand to host inaugural WXV tournamentEngland will feel they should have won by more, especially as they failed to score a point in the final 20 minutes despite playing with an extra player, but this was still a comprehensive victory with meetings against Canada and world champions New Zealand to come spins
“It was a great victory spins
The Aussies gave us a really good game,” Packer said spins
“We talk about courage and being courageous and we’re going to grow into this tournament and today was the start of that spins
“It’s a fantastic competition and we’re all excited to be here playing the top teams in the world, coming off the World Cup last year and keeping the legacy going in New Zealand spins
“I know the girls are really enjoying it over here spins
The camp is feeling really good we’re a new-look England side and enjoying the way we are playing spins
“We have new coaching staff and we’re pleased that John Mitchell is here now and we’re looking to keep growing and building into next week’s game spins

But each time they seemed as though they might turn it into points, someone would get back to make the vital intervention spins
England, by contrast, were much more clinical, Alex Matthews and Jess Breach with the steal and then break to put Ella Wyrwas in to score, Aitchison converted from out wide spins
Try number three came after a big Packer charge saw Annabelle Codey sent to the sin-bin for an upright tackle spins
Against 14, England were never going to be stopped, the captain delivering the punishment from a rolling maul spins
That was soon followed by another, Breach with one of the easiest finishes off her international career as she coasted over untouched on the left after Australia had again struggled to contain a rolling maul spins
Aitchison converted both and England led 28-0 at half-time spins
Botterman was denied her second try shortly after half-time, but a rolling maul a few minutes later allowing Packer to double up, Aitchison again converting spins

While it did not pay immediate dividends, a quick tap penalty from Layne Morgan saw replacement Ashley Marsters burst over from close range to get the Wallaroos’ first try spins

Any hopes of a comeback were quickly squashed spins
England got back into the Australian 22 and former sevens standout Meg Jones showed her quick feet to dart through for the Red Roses’ sixth try spins
To add insult to injury, Codey put in a needless late hit on Wyrwas in the build-up, earning her second yellow card as a result and leaving Australia with 14 for the final quarter spins
That should have been the cue for the floodgates to open, but England were unusually sloppy in the final 20 minutes, and did well to avoid conceding again themselves at the end after Sarah Beckett was also sent to the sin-bin as England conceded four penalties in one passage of play spins
New head coach John Mitchell joined up with the team on Thursday after his role with Japan’s men’s team ended at the Rugby World Cup pool stage, and watched England romp to an impressive win spins
