The first Merseyside derby of the season ends in draw. An an intense and enthralling game featuring goalkeeping masterclass from both no.1s kept the score line goalless.
Liverpool and Everton were forced to settle for a share of the spoils after a typically fiery Merseyside derby ended goalless.
Everton came agonisingly close to opening the scoring in the first half when Tom Davies hit the upright.
Frank Lampard’s side also thought they had scored late in the second only for a VAR check to rule out a Conor Coady strike for offside.
But this was no one-sided contest, with Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz both striking the woodwork in quick succession for the Reds in the opening 45 minutes.
Mohamed Salah then did the same in the fifth minute of time added on as Liverpool came agonisingly close to winning it.
The hosts had a goal in the second half disallowed for offside as Conor Coady was denied a dream moment against his boyhood club.
But the Toffees also had to thank Jordan Pickford for making a succession of top saves to ensure his side got a deserved point.
As such, both teams could feel they deserved their point, even if it is a result neither would welcome.
For Liverpool, a draw extended a patchy start to the season in which they have already lost significant ground on the early leaders.
