Summary at a Glance

Liverpool boss Arne Slot and his assistant, Sipke Hulshoff, were both shown red cards amid his anger after the last-gasp equaliser was allowed to stand while Everton’s Abdoulaye Doucoure and Liverpool’s Curtis Jones were also sent off as tempers ran out of control.

Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister conceded a free-kick, Jarrad Branthwaite took it quickly and fed the ball through to Beto who caught the Reds defence napping as he slotted the ball past keeper Alisson Becker for an 11th minute lead.

Everton launched the ball into the box, Liverpool screamed foul for Beto’s challenge on Ibrahima Konate but the ball broke to Tarkowski to smash home.

When Mo Salah put Liverpool ahead in the 73rd minute, it looked as if they would win the final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park to go nine points clear.

And it was also why despite Liverpool being the best team in the country by a mile - and with Salah the best player in the country - Everton were able to rouse themselves and get a result against all the odds.
