Both of Liverpool's goals in their 2-0 win over Everton came direct from headers.

Andy Robertson nodded home their first from a Mo Salah cross, before Divock Origi improved his superb record against Everton by getting on the end of Luis Diaz's acrobatic assist.

Liverpool are the top scorers in the Premier League in terms of overall goals, having now netted 85 times, compared to Manchester City's tally of 80.

Fourteen of those 85 strikes (16.47%) have been headers, meaning Liverpool are also the EPL's top scorers in terms of headed goals.

Chelsea and Newcastle are joint second with 11 headed goals in the Premier League this season.

Leeds United have scored the fewest headed goals in the 2021/22 EPL with two. Daniel James has scored both of those.
