Analysis: Everton 2-2 Liverpool

Liverpool's fans were taunting their Everton counterparts with chants of "we won the league at Goodison Park" just moments before James Tarkowski denied them the victory they thought was theirs.

It was a response to Everton fans directing "you lost the league at Goodison Park" after Liverpool were defeated here near the end of last season.

And those supporters would have had every right to believe the title was on its way back to Anfield as Salah's late strike looked to be putting them nine points clear of Arsenal.

In the end, Liverpool had to settle for a point - a fair outcome for all the controversy surrounding the equaliser.

Head coach Arne Slot, who cut an agitated figure all night as Everton's fans urged their team on with deafening noise, was furious Tarkowski's goal was allowed and appeared unhappy with referee Michael Oliver throughout.

Liverpool were not quite themselves, with Everton making life uncomfortable, but their disappointment will be even more acute because they looked to be closing out the win without too many alarms until those wild closing seconds.

They can console themselves by still holding a very healthy seven point lead at the top of the league.
