The last time Liverpool found themselves on a winning streak like this, Everton ended their run.
This time, however, the Reds dismissed their fiercest rivals at Anfield, in a 5-2 thrashing that extended their unbeaten Premier League run to a club record 32 matches.
In spite of a host of changes, Liverpool rewarded Anfield by sending Everton back across Stanley Park without a victory for the 18th consecutive time.
That is the longest run the Reds have enjoyed against any side in the Premier League – given that it is Everton, it makes it all the sweeter.
Divock Origi opened the scoring after profiting from a lovely pass from Sadio Mane, before the Senegalese assisted Xherdan Shaqiri to make it 2-0.
Michael Keane quickly pulled a goal back, but Origi and Mane added further efforts and Richarlison headed home before the interval.
A quieter second half saw Gini Wijnaldum score the only goal, putting the icing on the cake in the final minutes.
Here are four findings from the match.
