Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah scored two second half goals to give his side a 2-0 win over Everton in the Merseyside derby and to end 10-man Everton’s brave rearguard action. The striker’s second goal came deep into injury time as he finished a counter-attack expertly launched by Darwin Nunez. Manchester United were able to pay homage to club and England legend, Bobby Charlton, who passed away earlier in the day, with a 2-1 win away to Sheffield United. Yoane Wissa’s close-range finish opened the scoring in the 25th minute before Bryan Mbeumo and Saman Ghoddos assured the points in the second half. A bad day for Burnley was made worse when Connor Roberts was sent off with 12 minutes left to play.
