The Independent Uganda: You get the Truth we Pay the Price
Origi might have won the game minutes earlier, striking a shot against the bar before Daniel Sturridge’s follow-up struck Gylfi Sigurdsson and led to strong penalty claims.
But Everton could also point to two glorious first-half chances that might have ended their 19-year wait for a win at Anfield.
First, Yerry Mina headed wide from close-range from a free-kick and then Andre Gomes’s double effort drew a stunning save from Alisson and goalline clearance from Joe Gomez.
For Liverpool, Sadio Mane hurried a shot over from 10 yards and Xherdan Shaqiri was blocked by Pickford when a goal looked inevitable — signs of the home side being put off their stride by an impressive Everton.
“I’m proud of my players, proud of how they performed this evening,” said Silva. “It was a lucky, lucky, lucky day for Liverpool.”
