LIVERPOOL HELD 2-2 BY EVERTON IN LAST MERSEYSIDE DERBY AT GOODISON PARK

Liverpool missed the chance to extend their lead in the league table after a dramatic 2-2 draw with Everton at Goodison Park last night.

After a strong start from both teams it was Everton who took the lead on 11 minutes as a quick free-kick sent BETO through, who then slotted past ALISSON.

Liverpool were back on level terms in the 16th minute as MOHAMED SALAH’S cross found ALEXIS MAC ALLISTER who got just enough on the header to find the far corner, and in the 73rd minute, Liverpool then went 2-1 up with DARWIN NUNEZ, setting up CURTIS JONES for an effort cleared by BRANTHWAITE but only into the path of SALAH, who made it 2-1.

But the visitors failed to hold on to their lead as JAMES TARKOWSKI blasted the ball into the corner to make it 2-2.

Liverpool are on 57 points, seven clear of the Gunners after 24 games played.
