Andy Carroll couldn't hide his joy after netting a priceless goal in the 2-0 win over Everton during Saturday's 216th Merseyside derby.

Liverpool's No.9 fired his first Barclays Premier League goal of the season as Kenny Dalglish's side headed off to the international break with a victory.

It was the England international's derby debut and he certainly made his mark with the opening goal.

"It was a good feeling to get the goal," said Carroll.

"It always is great to score, and to get my first league goal of the season against Everton couldn't be any better."
