The
Reds
were
frustrated
for
the
best
part
of
an
hour
by
Merseyside
rivals
Everton,
who
dropped
into
the
relegation
zone
ahead
of
kick-off
following
Burnley’s
earlier
win
over
Wolves.
Neither
side
registered
an
attempt
on
target
in
an
at
times
feisty
first
half,
but
Robertson
made
the
all-important
breakthrough
after
62
minutes
with
a
header
from
close
range.

Origi
added
a
late
second
against
his
favourite
opponents
as
Jurgen
Klopp’s
side
made
certain
of
a
12th
win
in
their
past
13
top-flight
outings
to
stay
within
touching
distance
of
City
with
five
games
left
to
go.

Liverpool
took
21
minutes
to
record
their
first
shot
–
a
long-range
Sadio
Mane
strike
over
the
bar
–
and
their
frustrations
boiled
over
after
Abdoulaye
Doucoure
fouled
Fabinho.
As
both
sets
of
players
squared
off,
Sadio
Mane
pushed
Mason
Holgate
–
a
late
inclusion
in
the
Everton
XI
for
Michael
Keane
–
in
the
face
but
escaped
with
only
a
yellow
card.
The
theme
of
the
game
continued
into
the
second
half
as
Everton,
who
had
a
penalty
shout
rejected
when
Joel
Matip
put
his
arm
across
Anthony
Gordon,
continued
to
hold
firm.
But
frustration
turned
to
jubilation
for
Liverpool
when
substitute
Origi
exchanged
passes
with
Mohamed
Salah,
who
sent
in
a
cross
for
Robertson
to
head
in
at
the
far
post.
That
goal
came
via
the
Reds’ first
effort
on
target
and
they
did
not
have
to
wait
long
for
another,
with
Joel
Matip
heaving
a
header
blocked
on
the
line
by
Allan.
Origi
settled
any
lingering
nerves
with
a
second
goal
five
minutes
from
time,
the
Belgium
international
helping
the
ball
over
the
line
after
fellow
substitute
Luis
Diaz’s
bicycle-kick
bounced
back
across
goal.
