Everton v Liverpool - in pictures

Built by Shanks, broke by Yanks! That's what the banners used to read ... but what now that John W. Henry and Tom Werner have bought the club? Having ousted George Gillet and Tom Hicks, the new American owners are promising to rebuild the red half of Merseyside and bring trophies back to Anfield. A familiar promise. Still, Henry gets a welcoming reception as he wanders into the ground before the match Photograph: Tom Jenkins Of course, Everton have their own American hero, Tim Howard, too Photograph: Tom Jenkins The streets around the ground are filling up fast. This fixture is weightier than your average Merseyside derby given the standings of their clubs this season - Liverpool are currently in the relegation zone having had their worst start to the season in 57 years, while Everton, who make a nasty habit of beginning league campaigns badly, are just one place above them Photograph: Tom Jenkins For what it's worth, Everton have home advantage today. But Liverpool did the double over the Toffees last season Photograph: Tom Jenkins Henry shakes hands with his opposite number, Everton owner Bill Kenwright, shortly before kick off Photograph: Tom Jenkins The game gets under way and it's a typically heated encounter. Tim Cahill thinks he's beaten Lucas Leiva to the ball until he gets chopped down from behind Photograph: Tom Jenkins Phil Jagielka vies for a header with Steven Gerrard Photograph: Tom Jenkins Everton are bossing the first half. Here, Mikel Arteta fires a free-kick into the Liverpool wall Photograph: Tom Jenkins Sylvan Distin and Kyrgiakos compete at corner, though neither seems to have their eyes on the ball Photograph: Tom Jenkins Henry points something out to Werner. Perhaps he's joking about the state of Liverpool's defence, which has just conceded a goal. Tim Cahill lashed home a shot at the near post after a deflected cross fell neatly into his path. 1-0 to Everton with 34 minutes gone Photograph: Tom Jenkins Cahill runs off in celebration - to the corner flag, of course Photograph: Tom Jenkins A Liverpool fan proudly raises his scarf at half-time and hopes that maybe the second half will bring a change of fortunes Photograph: Tom Jenkins Diniyar Bilyaletdinov, a second half substitute for Leon Osman, is tackled by Martin Skrtel Photograph: Tom Jenkins Cahill prepares for the worst Photograph: Tom Jenkins Jamie Carragher looks a tad out of breath. That's what happens when you spend all afternoon chasing the ball around the park. It's a joyless afternoon for the Reds as Everton bag a second goal through Mikel Artea's strike from the edge of the box Photograph: Tom Jenkins Fernando Torres seems to be copying Carragher's pose. Chin up. At least your goal difference is still marginally better than West Ham's Photograph: Tom Jenkins Leiva and Seamus Coleman engage in a battle of the diddymen Photograph: Tom Jenkins Jermain Beckford, who replaced Arteta, goes through the back of Skrtel Photograph: Tom Jenkins Sotirios Kyrgiakos argues with referee Howard Webb, who is forced to brandish five yellow cards during the match Photograph: Tom Jenkins Gerrard is sent flying by Bilyaletdinov Photograph: Tom Jenkins Roy Hodgson is looking rather mad. Only one win in his first eight league matches - that is hardly the sort of statistic that'll keep him in a job Photograph: Tom Jenkins 2-0 it ends. What an inauspicious start for Henry and Werner. Gerrard unties his laces and trudges off while Everton's players celebrate a fine win Photograph: Tom Jenkins Cahill then gives a fist-pump to the fans Photograph: Tom Jenkins At least the blue half of Merseyside will be happy tonight Photograph: Tom Jenkins
