Liverpool legend Souness praises Everton and Pickford for derby win

Liverpool legend Graeme Souness says Everton deserved victory at Anfield.

The win was their first at Liverpool since 1999.

Souness said, "Liverpool used to be horrible to play against. Now everybody wants to play against them. They are an easy touch.

"Fair play to Everton, the win was thoroughly-deserved. They set out to be hard to play against.

Everton did the business, the defended when they had to, the goalkeeper made a couple of really good saves, and they deserved it.

“2-0 doesn't flatter Everton. In all the areas that are important, they were better than Liverpool."
