He said, "Immediately after the game I apologised to (Everton manager) Marco Silva, because, when we spoke to each other, and I, told him how much, I respect his work, because it's incredible, what he did with that team. They are just an outstanding side."
"Derbies are always difficult, but today it was a completely different difficult to the last few years. And... so, what Can I say about it? I didn't want to run, it was not my plan," he further added.
Virgil van Dijk's mis-hit shot looped up into the air and was dropping over the Everton crossbar before Pickford scooped it back into play, allowing Origi to score.

Chasing a first win at Anfield since 1999, Everton created the better of the openings in the first half, but found Liverpool goalkeeper Allison in inspired form.
