Divock Origi might not have anything personal against Everton. But he does have five goals against them.

Origi’s brace helped Liverpool beat Everton 5-2 in an entertaining Merseyside derby on Wednesday, and he now has scored the third-most Premier League goals for the Reds in the rivalry.

Elsewhere, Mason Mount’s stunning volley lifted Chelsea past Aston Villa 2-1, while Leicester City won again to return to second place in the table.

Origi, Liverpool hammer Everton

Liverpool stayed eight points clear atop the table thanks in part to Origi’s two goals. His first came in the sixth minute on a slick through-ball from Sadio Mané:

After Xherdan Shaqiri doubled the lead and Everton pulled one back through Michael Keane, Origi put Liverpool up 3-1 with a glorious touch and finish:

Mané and Everton’s Richarlison also scored right before halftime, and Georginio Wijnaldum added Liverpool’s fifth goal shortly before the final whistle.

Origi’s five career goals against Everton trail only Steven Gerrard (nine) and Robbie Fowler (six) in Liverpool’s Premier League history.

Mount’s volley propels Blues

Christian Pulisic started yet again for Chelsea, but Mount made the biggest impact with his goal shortly after halftime.

After Willian waited a seemingly interminable amount of time to make a move out wide, his ball in was chested into the air by Tammy Abraham, and Mount did the rest:

Abraham scored the opener, while Trezeguet leveled for Villa before the break.

Jamie Vardy, Leicester City back in second

While Liverpool runs away atop the table, Manchester City tries to climb back in the title race, and Chelsea continues to impress despite its youth, the fourth top-four spot sure seems like it’s going to go to Leicester with each passing day.

The Foxes beat Watford 2-0 on Wednesday to move back into second place, and Jamie Vardy scored his league-leading 14th goal from the penalty spot:

James Maddison added insurance in the fifth minute of stoppage time, and Leicester put together another solid all-around effort.

It may not be 2016, but the Foxes will likely play a major part in this title race.

  • Oil Near $52 on Still-Surging Virus and Stronger Dollar

    (Bloomberg) -- Oil futures held steady, despite a stronger dollar and physical prices in Asia continuing to trade at weaker levels than a month ago.Premiums for Russia’s ESPO have fallen by more than $1 since last month, according to traders who asked not to be identified. It follows a flurry of new Covid cases in China, potentially menacing demand, and flare ups in other regional oil consumers like Japan. Indian energy demand was also off to a shaky start to the year, with sales of transport and cooking fuels dropping from a month earlier.While a second consecutive daily rise in the dollar was adding pressure to prices on Monday, not all data was so downbeat. Chinese refiners processed a record volume of crude in December, the equivalent of about 14 million barrels a day, a sign of just how strongly consumption in the world’s largest crude importer had rebounded into the end of last year. Combined with OPEC+ output cuts and the rollout of Covid vaccines, that had helped push prices to a 10-month high at the start of the year.“The virus will be beaten, and the foundation of economic recovery was laid down in the second half of last year,” said Tamas Varga, an analyst at PVM Oil Associates Ltd. As a result, the pullback in prices “might prove to be short-lived,” he said.Libya’s oil output, meanwhile, has dropped by about 200,000 barrels a day after the closure of a leaking pipeline. The decline underscores how difficult it is for the country to maintain production after almost a decade of civil war.See also: President Biden Won’t Unlock a Wave of Iranian Crude: Julian LeeVolumes of crude stored at sea are also continuing to fall as the market rebalances. Floating storage slipped to 80 million barrels last week, according to Vortexa Ltd, the lowest since April.For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.

    Mesut Ozil said joining Fenerbahce is a “dream come true” after landing in Istanbul late on Sunday night ahead his move to the Turkish giants.

  • Biggest Gulf ETF Eyes Growth as Rift Ends, World Cup Nears

    (Bloomberg) -- The end of an embargo on Qatar has come at a handy time for the Gulf’s biggest equity-focused exchange traded fund, just as the gas-rich country is set to get a boost from hosting one of the world’s most popular events.Inflows to the Doha-based Al Rayan Qatar ETF jumped when news of the potential normalization of relations with Saudi Arabia emerged late last year. Daily volumes surged earlier this month as the end of a three-year rift that also included the United Arab Emirates was finally confirmed.The Shariah-compliant ETF is listed in Doha, with a market capitalization of about $153 million, and has returned almost 19% since its inception in 2018. It allocates holdings to the 23 stocks currently in the QE Al Rayan Islamic Index. The fund started less than a year after the group of Arab countries cut ties with Qatar for allegedly supporting terrorist groups, an accusation Qatar has always denied.Now, as Qatar gets ready to host the FIFA World Cup soccer tournament next year, the benefit for listed companies ranging from logistics to telecommunications and hospitality helps to build an investment case that could appeal to wealthy Saudi and Emirati individuals, according to the fund’s manager.“Take this country of two and a half million and add 500,000 to a 1 million visitors over a two, or three-week period and the significance is obvious,” Akber Khan, senior director of asset management at Al Rayan Investment in Doha, said in an interview. “It’s not just the month-long tournament that’s important, it takes elaborate planning to execute.”Economic activity is expected to accelerate in the year prior to the tournament, he said. “Kick off is 21 November, 2022, but well before that logistics, utilities, telecoms, retailers, banks will all benefit.”Qatar’s benchmark QE Index, composed of 20 stocks, is up 4.1% this year, against a 2.7% increase for the QE Al Rayan Islamic Index.Spreading the WordIt’s now time to remind potential investors in Riyadh, Jeddah, Abu Dhabi and Dubai of the attractions of the Qatar equity market, Khan said. “We certainly plan to be more active getting the word out across the region as soon as travel restrictions and Covid-19 lockdowns ease. For now, we will have to make do with webinars and video calls.”While the Al Rayan fund might look tiny when compared to some traded in the U.S. and Europe, it stands out in a region where the product is still not widely available. There are three equity-focused ETFs listed in Saudi Arabia and one in the UAE, all with less than $20 million in assets.“We invested time in trying to understand why previous ETFs in the region had not been successful,” Khan said. It took more than four years of talks with local regulators to come up with a framework that Al Rayan believed would allow the asset class to thrive.Market reforms were introduced during this process, such as allowing short selling and permitting covered short-positions by brokers providing liquidity for the ETF. “It was critical to get all these things correct, otherwise the product life would have been very limited,” Khan said.Read more: The UAE And Qatar Are More Alike Than Apart: Amr Adly(Adds stock performance in Doha this year in seventh paragraph.)For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.
