Andy Carroll and Luis Suarez were both on the mark as Liverpool beat Everton at Goodison Park.
Liverpool were arguably helped by the sending-off of England U21 international - Jack Rodwell. With tempers flaring and stop-start game, it was a timid first half performance from both the sides.
Evertonians would be angered even more when referee Mark Atkinson awarded a penalty to Liverpool as Luis Suarez tumbled inside the penalty box. Their anger was soon forgotten, when Dirk Kuyt's was thwarted by Tim Howard.
The whistle for the first half blew with Evertonians still livid from the controversial sending-off of Jack Rodwell.
The beginning of the second half seemed no different than the first half until Liverpool's record signing, Andy Carroll, went on to net his first of this year's Premier League and his first of the Merseyside Derby.
Though it was Andy Carroll who scored it, credit must be given to Jose Enrique, who set up the goal, and Dirk Kuyt who faked a shot to catch the defenders off-guard.
Suarez's goal meant Liverpool had ground out a victory against their local rivals.
