Beto pulled David Moyes’ side level early into the second half when he slid in to meet Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s dangerous cross past Giorgi Mamardashvili. Arne Slot’s side opened up a seven-point lead on Chelsea in the race for the final Champions League spot while the Blues dropped to 10th in the table.

For a time, it looked like David Moyes’ side would take something from this contest either side of the interval despite Iliman Ndiaye’s disallowed opener. Liverpool’s stand-in goalkeeper may have come off worse in a collision with the No.9 yet he would be on the receiving end of a similar misfortune.

Everton may have left behind Goodison’s years of misfortune but Sod’s Law clearly has still accompanied them in the move to Bramley-Moore Dock. Woodman’s lack of regular game time, however, did not appear to faze him as he commanded his area well and denied Ndiaye during the closing stages.
