Everton were within close distance of the reds in the league - a dramatic gap-closing of recent years as the reigning champions have fumbled badly in this campaign.

It was a fairly frenetic opening 15 minutes in which Everton acquitted themselves well - Liverpool still smarting from further injury issues and the midweek exit of the Champions League. And the stadium was bouncing when Everton thought they had the opening goal of the game in the 27th minute, but Iliman Ndiaye's goal was ruled offside from the cross.

Everton equalised in the second half when a ball was allowed to meander across the reds area - Beto sliding in and unfortunately delivering a serious injury to Mamardashvilli in the Liverpool goal. Bottles thrown on to the pitch from the Everton fans, Liverpool fans jubilant as they drank in the Everton tears.
