Robertson and Origi strikes keep pressure on Manchester City
1 min read
Liverpool moved back to within a point of Premier League leaders Manchester City with a battling 2-0 win over Everton on Sunday thanks to second-half goals from Andy Robertson and Divock Origi.
The Reds were frustrated for the best part of an hour by Merseyside rivals Everton, who dropped into the relegation zone ahead of kick-off following Burnley’s earlier win over Wolves.
Neither side registered an attempt on target in an at times feisty first half, but Robertson made the all-important breakthrough after 62 minutes with a header from close range.
Origi added a late second against his favourite opponents as Jurgen Klopp’s side made certain of a 12th win in their past 13 top-flight outings to stay within touching distance of City with five games left to go.
