Sadio the Mane man for Liverpool
A stoppage time winner from Sadio Mane ensured Liverpool will sit second heading into Christmas.
In a match with few chances, Everton lost goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg to injury after an hour and understudy Joel Robles made a fine, diving save from Roberto Firmino with 10 minutes to go.
Stekelenburg also denied Firmino in the 50th minute as Liverpool dominated. Everton have now gone 12 derbies without a win, and 20 with only one.
Klopp's men completely controlled the second half but had to wait to break through, Mane sliding in to convert the rebound from close range after substitute Daniel Sturridge's 20-metre shot had struck the post with just four minutes remaining.
"The best thing you can do on a night like this is win and you saw how happy our fans were," Klopp told Sky Sports television after Liverpool rose to second in the Premier League, six points behind leaders Chelsea.
"I can't remember one chance for Everton. The plan of Everton was wild football. They were chasing us everywhere, it is really difficult to play against this.
"We couldn't handle it at first. We will be better at reacting against this in a few months," added Klopp.
"We were much better in the second half, we could have scored earlier. If you only win games when you are brilliant you won't win many games, it was a battle and we were ready for it."
"We are really disappointed to concede in extra time," said Everton manager Ronald Koeman. "The eight minutes killed us.
"We have to wait to see about Stekelenburg's injury, we will know more tomorrow, and (midfielder) James McCarthy has a hamstring injury.
"In the second half we had problems to stop Liverpool," added Koeman.
