Liverpool would not have managed to beat Everton had it not been for a superb display from Jamie Carragher, according to former Reds striker Ian Rush.
Liverpool managed to come away from Goodison Park with a 2-0 win that was in no small part due to the defensive resilience they showed against a determined Toffees side.
And Rush feels that 'Carra' has answered the critics who had questioned whether the England international was still performing at high enough level for the Premier League.
"Jamie Carragher was outstanding in Sunday’s derby," Rush told The Liverpool Echo.
"He epitomised the attitude and commitment in the Liverpool side and you could see how desperate he was to get the three points.
"He put his head in when it hurts and was everywhere, fighting for possession, determined to ensure Everton didn’t get back in the game.
"He took some stick earlier in the season but Sunday proved he’s back to his best."
