Goals: Salah 41′; Rooney (pen) 77′


The Reds were unable to make their dominance count in one of the most one-sided Merseyside derby clashes in recent years, held to a share of the points.

Mohamed Salah opened the scoring for the hosts, but after controlling the game throughout a foul from the clumsy Dejan Lovren in the penalty area allowed Rooney to equalise from the spot.

Liverpool are now 10 games unbeaten, but the manner of Sunday’s draw will feel more like a defeat for supporters.

Here are all the reactions from throughout the game.

“What’s done is done. A wasted chance really but derbies are always tricky. A win against West Brom on Wednesday needed to keep the pressure on Chelsea.”

“This was a very average Everton side. So disappointed we didn’t get the full three points.”

Abu Zaid Masuri on the forums.

“Can’t believe how a team that plays no sort of football whatsoever claims a point with 21% possession.”

El Nino Dayekh on Facebook.

“I can’t tell you how angry I am. I’m seriously fed up with these refs. It’s happened too many times this season where the refs made a decision and it’s hurt us badly.”
