LIVERPOOL, England (AP) — Cody Gakpo finally got off the mark as Liverpool beat Everton 2-0 in the 242nd Merseyside derby. The Holland forward tapped in from close range in the 49th minute after Mo Salah had opened the scoring in the first half to set up Liverpool’s first win in the Premier League this year.

It was ninth-place Liverpool’s second victory in its last eight games in all competitions.
