Player ratings as 98th minute equaliser sees derby points shared at Goodison Park


Liverpool was denied on Wednesday evening in the last Merseyside derby in the last Merseyside derby in Liverpool by an Everton equalization of the 98th minute.

This was David Moyes’ First Derby Clash with Liverpool since his first spell when Everton leader ended in 2014, while it was also the first time at Goodison for Arne Slot.

Just a few days after Liverpool had been expelled from the FA Cup by Plymouth Argyle, Everton stacked another misery with Beto’s early goal.

The advantage did not take long, Alexis Mac Allister’s header by Mohamed Salah’s cross-a record aid of the Egypitans-Hat only connected things five minutes later.

Everton was the dominant side in the early stages of the second half, even a potential go-a-a-haeAD goal by Jarrad Branthwaite from the central defender, who had excluded apart from the offside.

In the last 20 minutes, Salah’s well -closed Liverpool gate set for the first time, which looked like it was crucial for James Tarkowski to compensate in added time.

In a bad conclusion, both sides had sent a player -Abdoulaye Docoure and Curtis Jones -after the final whistle after a close combat and a heated exchange.

The result brings Liverpool seven points in front of Arsenal in the title Race of the Premier League, an extremely commanding lead with only 14 games from 2024/25 that were still to be played.
