Everton 1 Liverpool 3
A goal from Steven Gerrard, a Michael Owen penalty and a strike by Norway's John Arne Riise gave Liverpool a 3-1 victory at Everton today that ended their three-match winless streak.
Striker Kevin Campbell put Everton ahead after only five minutes of a keenly-contested city derby only for Liverpool to equalise seven minutes later when England's Gerrard scored with a fine cross shot from the right.
Owen slotted home his penalty on the half hour after David Unsworth brought down Emile Heskey and Riise ended a good run down the left with Liverpool's third in the 52nd minute.
Liverpool, away to Borussia Dortmund in the Champions on Wednesday, had lost their previous two league games and not won since beating Bayern Munich in the European Super Cup on August 24.
There was a minute's silence before kickoff, planned for all the day's league matches, as a mark of respect for the victims of the terror strikes in the U.S. Players on both sides wore black armbands. -Reuters
