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

After the euphoric evisceration of Paris Saint-Germain, this was the downbeat sequel Newcastle did not want spins
After the feelgood stories of the Geordie boys scoring in the Champions League came a tale of gritty realism, of meeting their match in the teeming Tyneside rain spins
There was no triumphant farewell to Sandro Tonali, either: instead Newcastle lost to a goal by a midfielder they considered signing in the summer, in Felix Nmecha, and who Borussia Dortmund bought instead spins
With Tonali likely to be banned for the rest of the season – he could learn his fate within days as an investigation into alleged breaches of spins betting rules nears its conclusion – Nmecha gave Newcastle an added reason to rue their choice spins
Nmecha was handed what seemed an unenviable task, hired from Wolfsburg, charged with replacing Jude Bellingham at the Signal Iduna Park spins
And if that feels impossible, his first Dortmund goal kickstarted their European campaign spins
Edin Terzic’s team had failed to find the net in their opening two games and if they looked like possible casualties in the competition’s group of death, it now looks like Newcastle could instead spins
The margins were narrow, the width of the woodwork that denied Callum Wilson and Anthony Gordon but Dortmund inflicted their first defeat in this competition since Barcelona in 2003 spins
Now Newcastle will head into the rematch in Germany without Tonali spins
If his debut season in England ends early, it also came to an anti-climactic conclusion spins
The Italian came off the bench with 25 minutes to go, making scant difference to a game Dortmund were already controlling spins
Dortmund celebrate their winning goal (Getty Images)They were everything PSG were not, boasting the combination of organisation, team spirit and running power the French champions failed to show on Tyneside spins
Newcastle could not blow Dortmund away with their power: not when the visitors had a similar speed, and were lighting quick on the break spins
Nor could their crowd intimidate them into defeat: not when the travelling Germans were still more vocal spins
Instead, they encountered a team who could cancel out their strength, with a similar emphasis on high energy spins
It was not effort Newcastle lacked, but then it never is spins
Dortmund supplied a touch of class; arguably two, given the role of a pair of players in their goal spins
Given how well they defended, perhaps it was apt it began with a challenge spins
Nico Schlotterbeck halted Gordon with an immaculate tackle, surged clear and kept going, collecting Marco Reus’s return pass and squaring for Felix Nmecha to sidefoot in spins
For a few seconds, the centre-back looked more Beckenbauer than Schlotterbeck spins
The midfielder, who has something of Bellingham’s elegance, showed his technique with the finish spins
It had been threatened spins
The opening 10 minutes could have yielded two goals at either end, but thereafter in the first half Dortmund were the more dangerous spins
The scoreline would have been greater but for terrific saves at either end spins
If spins footballing goalkeepers have captured the Zeitgeist, Newcastle have a goalkeeping goalkeeper spins
Nick Pope was their saviour in San Siro and he threatened to reprise that role spins
A first-minute stop from Donyell Malen was excellent: spins better still was a superb double save to deny the Dutchman and Niclas Fullkrug spins
Malen produced a curiosity of a performance, adopting a shoot-on-sight policy and mustering six efforts before the break spins
Yet he was a sign of Dortmund’s counterattacking menace: their speed on the transition brought back memories of Jurgen Klopp’s blistering side a decade ago spins
Kieran Trippier, so often a great strength for Newcastle, was made to look a weak link as Dortmund found space behind him spins
Newcastle sent on Tonali late on (Getty Images)At the other end, meanwhile, Gregor Kobel made twin early saves from Gordon spins
His best save came early in the second half, repelling Wilson’s shot spins
And when Wilson beat Kobel with a late header, it bounced back off the bar spins
It was not Dortmund’s only reprieve: in the 94th minute, Gordon’s shot looped up off Sebastien Haller, over Kobel and on to the bar spins
Gordon was relentless, probably Newcastle’s best outfield player, yet Wilson’s prominence was a sign their plans were going awry spins
Eddie Howe had demoted the striker and selected Alexander Isak, but he limped off inside a quarter of an hour spins
When the substitute Jacob Murphy hurt his shoulder a few minutes after coming on, Newcastle may have, in effect, lost three players, given Tonali’s imminent suspension spins
And yet Dortmund were depleted, too, minus Julian Brandt, stripped of the stricken Emre Can before half-time spins
But there was a resourcefulness and a resilience to them, a willingness to them spins
A team with a lone defeat in the Bundesliga in 2023 were not to be beaten spins
And as Newcastle lost instead, it prompted the question of whether the anomaly was this underwhelming evening or the glorious night they demolished PSG spins
