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
Salah gives Liverpool the lead from the penalty spot (Reuters)And Diaz, the brightest of Liverpool’s attackers on a day when they did not quite gel, when the wrong option was taken too often and when Jurgen Klopp’s dislike of 12 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

Rugby beauty comes in many forms – as New Zealand showed against Argentina spins
Perhaps it is Will Jordan that takes your fancy, his 31 tries in 30 Tests rugby’s equivalent of the golden ratio spins
Perhaps you are entranced by Mark Tele’a, sinewy and sinuous, gliding in and out of contact like an electric eel spins
Or could it be Richie Mo’unga and his teasing grin, most often flashed at a grasping Argentine after a coquettish click of the heels on a night where the fly half seemed to step into space at will spins
But it was the All Blacks’ muscle-men and their rugged charm that laid the foundations for the decorative touches elsewhere spins
And to think New Zealand had entered this tournament with questions about their ability to assert themselves up front; this was a frightening display of forward strength, leaving Argentina’s Rugby World Cup dreams buried beneath the black mass spins
The Pumas had arrived in Paris with the most lineout drive metres per match of any team at the tournament – the tight tussles are meant to be their strength spins
In Marcos Kremer and Juan Martin Gonzalez, they had two long-limbed flankers, ready to aid their second rowers in getting up in the air spins
The good news is that Argentina fared spins better than New Zealand’s other opponents at this World Cup spins
Before tonight, New Zealand’s hookers had missed just a single lineout throw all tournament; they twice failed to find their intended recipient in the semi-final spins
The intention was to pull the platform from beneath the All Blacks, a conscious decision made to avoid giving New Zealand lineout ball with which to work: just one of Argentina’s ten first-half kicks was directed for touch spins

With the Pumas struggling for discipline and the whistle of referee Angus Gardner providing much of the soundtrack amidst an absence of atmosphere in a one-sided contest, New Zealand could punt for the sidelines at their leisure spins
The intent was set from the All Blacks’ first mauling opportunity, a locomotive that chugged out of the station despite Argentina’s desperate attempts to halt it spins
Gardner whistled, and New Zealand marched on, their forwards next punching their tickets down in Argentina’s 22 spins
Same plan, same result, the Pumas infringing as New Zealand drove again spins
Gardner called Montoya over for a dressing down, pointing out five penalisable offences in two maul movements spins
Already Argentina had been warned spins
In piled Puma paws, swiping at the buried ball and managing to halt the drive spins
But that only left space elsewhere, Jordan all alone in open pasture for the gentlest of trots to the line spins
The wing would add two more tries, drawing him level with Bryan Habana, Julian Savea and Jonah Lomu on a record eight scores at a single men’s World Cup – illustrious company spins
Will Jordan scored a hat-trick at the Stade de France (Getty Images)Credit must go to Jason Ryan, the All Blacks’ unheralded assistant coach, plucked from the Crusaders a year and a half ago spins
The arrival of former Ireland boss Joe Schmidt last summer was much trumpeted, the attacking schemer oft mentioned as a reason behind New Zealand’s resurgence, but Ryan, who arrived at the same time, has been just as crucial spins
Their heavy metal mauling with the ball is matched by defensive set-piece steel without it spins
It must also be said that Ryan is working with the right raw materials spins
Brodie Retallick watched much of this game perched on the pine, happy to let old chum Sam Whitelock stoke the engine room coals alongside Scott Barrett spins
As a locking triumvirate, there have surely been none spins better; this was a parade of puissance, with the scrum also in outstanding working order spins
Four years ago at this stage, Steve Hansen made an error spins
Fearing England’s lineout threat, he installed Barrett on the blindside ahead of the semi-final, reshaping the back row spins
The many moving pieces jarred against one another, the lock-slash-six an early sacrifice on a night where England brought the All Blacks crashing down spins
New Zealand’s scrum also proved effective (AFP via Getty Images)Barrett has since kicked on, now top dog in a second-row room that contains two all-time greats spins
The trio are tireless draft horses but have a few dressage flicks and tricks, too spins
Whitelock’s deft pull-back pass at the line was a vital component in New Zealand’s first two ornately-constructed scores; the bulkiest Barrett brother joined his siblings in a couple of open-field gallops spins
Retallick arrived on the hour, one centurion replacing another as Whitelock took leave spins
Barrett departed five minutes after, unable to resist a dip in the cookie jar from a supine position, a cynical intervention rightly drawing a card spins
It was about the only blot on a night of All Black might, with New Zealand even opting to leave Barrett off and play the final five minutes with 14 men in another show of superiority spins
A tilt at a record fourth men’s World Cup crown awaits spins
