Liverpool 4 Everton 0

Jurgen Klopp's first Merseyside derby was a rout for the Reds but the 4-0 thrashing of Everton was marred by a serious injury to Divock Origi. The Belgian striker was stretchered off early in the second half after a wild tackle by Ramiro Funes Mori, and Origi will undergo scans today to assess the extent of the damage to his ankle ahead of the Reds Europa League semi-final next week against Villarreal.
