Jurgen Klopp was left frustrated with Liverpool's inability to score after a performance he called "90 per cent positive" in the defeat by Everton.

Everton ended their 22-year wait for a Merseyside derby win at Anfield with a 2-0 victory which consigned Liverpool to their worst home league run in almost a century.

 

Victory, their first in 23 derbies, saw Everton draw level on 40 points with their sixth-placed hosts and with a match in hand.

 

The last time Liverpool lost four league games in a row at home was in 1923. Klopp saw his team fail to score at Anfield for the fourth time in their last five matches with Jamie Carragher particularly scathing on Liverpool's attacking players, saying "they got everything they deserved.

 

Klopp told Sky Sports: "The first goal, which we have to defend better, gave the direction of the game. It was unnecessary.

 

"There were plenty of good football moments so we did well from a creative point of view but we had to chase the game and were not calm enough.

 

"Everton defended deep and full of passion but there were still moments where we were completely free in the box but we didn't finish.
