Everton v Liverpool: Premier League – live!

9.38am EDT 09:38

Dominic Calvert-Lewin speaks. “Very strange … we’re disappointed we didn’t kick on at 1-1 … it’s coming, I genuinely believed the day would be today that we’d do it, but it’s not to be, so we go the next one … we had chances to go on and win it, but didn’t take them … I’m disappointed that we didn’t win the game … it’s frustrating … but in terms of the bigger picture we didn’t lose and keep the unbeaten run going.”

9.35am EDT 09:35

That result keeps Everton on top with 13 points, three clear of their Mersey rivals, who rise to second spot, for a couple of hours at least, on 10. The champions came so close to snatching all three points at the end, but were undone by VAR, Mane seemingly caught offside by the width of an armpit hair. Or something. But both teams may be happy enough with a point that keeps Everton’s success show on the road, and gets the Villa mauling out of Liverpool’s system.

9.29am EDT 09:29

FULL TIME: Everton 2-2 Liverpool

Rodriguez sends the free kick to the far post. Calvert-Lewin heads it back across. Adrian claims … and that’s it! Another draw in the derby at Goodison … but a much more entertaining one than usual. Klopp and Ancelotti go off arm in arm.

9.27am EDT 09:27

90 min +5: Iwobi tussles with Robertson and Wijnaldum down the right. He nips between the pair and buys a clever free kick by the corner flag.

9.25am EDT 09:25

NO GOAL! Everton 2-2 Liverpool

VAR rules the goal out for the most marginal of offsides on Mane! The pictures on BT Sport suggest otherwise, but VAR insists! On the touchline, Klopp smiles wryly.

GOAL! Everton 2-3 Liverpool (Henderson 90+2)

Thiago plays a sensational no-look pass down the inside-left channel. Mane skitters into the box. He pulls the ball across the face of goal. Henderson slapshots it goalwards. Pickford gets a hand to it, but the ball screws off his hand, loops into the air, and in!

9.23am EDT 09:23

90 min +2: Mane is brought down in the Everton box. Only problem is, it’s Jota who clattered into him!

9.22am EDT 09:22

90 min +1: There will be four added minutes. Fabinho is replaced by Wijnaldum. Thiago, incidentally, is fine to continue.

9.22am EDT 09:22

RED CARD! Richarlison (Everton)

90 min: Richarlison goes, and doesn’t seem happy about it. Not sure what he’s complaining for, because that was another awful challenge. Everton are down to ten; they should be down to nine, of course. So much for Everton’s classical renaissance. The Dogs of War had nothing on this.

9.20am EDT 09:20

88 min: A studs-up slide on Thiago’s standing leg. He was really flying in. Referee Michael Oliver takes his red card out … though he’s not shown it yet, because Richarlison has stayed down.

9.18am EDT 09:18

87 min: Alexander-Arnold attempts a surprise whipper into the top left. It flies harmlessly wide, and Pickford looked to have read it anyway.

9.17am EDT 09:17

86 min: Mane is bundled over just outside the Everton box by Mina. A free kick by the left-hand corner of the area. A very dangerous position, with the box loaded.

9.16am EDT 09:16

84 min: Fabinho is booked for a clip on Rodriguez’s ankle. Rodriguez goes down. Richarlison continues an attack. That fizzles out, so Liverpool launch one of their own. Eventually that breaks down too. Rodriguez isn’t happy that Liverpool didn’t kick the ball out of play, but Richarlison set the template.

9.14am EDT 09:14

83 min: Liverpool are this close to regaining the lead. Salah dinks Mane into the Everton box down the right. Pickford half-smothers, a fine save. The ball breaks to Jota, who tries to chip home. He doesn’t catch it. Mane attempts to help it on, but can only head it wide.

9.13am EDT 09:13

GOAL! Everton 2-2 Liverpool (Calvert-Lewin 81)

The in-form striker scores his tenth goal of the season! And what a leap this was! Rodriguez slips Digne away down the left. Digne hangs one up to the far post, where Calvert-Lewin rises above Robertson and guides a simply brilliant header across Adrian and into the left-hand side of the net. Can anyone stop this man?

9.11am EDT 09:11

80 min: Klopp’s still berating his players. Not happy at all. Ancelotti cuts a more pensive figure.

9.10am EDT 09:10

79 min: Salah sends an oscillating snapshot towards Pickford, who makes a meal of parrying, but completes the job.

9.10am EDT 09:10

78 min: Both sides make a change. Everton replace Doucoure with Iwobi, while Liverpool send on Jota in place of the Firmino, who was quiet again by his own standards.

9.09am EDT 09:09

77 min: From the corner, Matip plants a header towards the top left. It’s in all the way … but Pickford extends a telescopic arm and turns it away! What a save, his second big contribution of the afternoon. Well, third, but you get the general point.

9.07am EDT 09:07

76 min: Alexander-Arnold nearly flicks Salah free down the inside-right channel, but Keane manages to bundle out for a corner. “It is more likely that Pickford will decide the match with a baffling blunder,” adds Jerome Brost. “In which case, it will be us Everton fans lamenting that he was not sent off.”

9.05am EDT 09:05

74 min: Fabinho gets past Keane down the right but, upon entering the box, and with Salah and Firmino in space in the middle, allows the defender to bite back and clear. Here’s Matt Dony: “To be fair to Duncan Edwards, Pickford does have a history of last-minute match-winning contributions in this fixture.”

9.04am EDT 09:04

73 min: That was a goal of effortless brilliance. Everton respond by replacing Gomes with Sigurdsson.

9.03am EDT 09:03

GOAL! Everton 1-2 Liverpool (Salah 72)

What a finish this is! Salah has done next to nothing this afternoon … except this! Fabinho slides Henderson into space down the right. Henderson’s cross is half cleared by Mina. Salah swings his left boot gracefully, sending a power curler into the bottom left, leaving Pickford no hope whatsoever!

70 min: This is getting all a bit scrappy. And fiery, Henderson and Gomes getting involved in a trenchant, and utterly pointless, back-and-forth.

9.00am EDT 09:00

69 min: Gomes is booked for a cynical trip on Fabinho. “Often when a player ‘escapes’ a red card he pops up later with a match-winning contribution to a chorus of ‘arguably shouldn’t have even been on the pitch’. It’d be fun if Pickford nodded home in the 95th minute, no?” Duncan Edwards stirring the pot there.

8.58am EDT 08:58

67 min: Mane and Digne tangle in mid-air, eyes on the ball, both players leaping with feet up. Digne comes off worse, and Mane is booked.

8.57am EDT 08:57

66 min: “There’s nobody on the second ball!” Jurgen Klopp there, on the touchline, bollocking his players in the grand style. He’s far from happy.

8.56am EDT 08:56

65 min: Rodriguez is allowed to advance towards the Liverpool box. Just before reaching the area, he opens his body and curls powerfully towards the bottom left. Adrian does well to get down and turn the ball away from danger.

8.54am EDT 08:54

63 min: Fabinho floats a chip down the middle. Salah hopes to get on the end of it, but Pickford’s out to the edge of his box to claim well. Good luck guessing who scores the next goal.

8.52am EDT 08:52

61 min: Thiago, Salah, Henderson and Firmino combine well down the middle, a thrusting move that eventually earns a corner. Nothing comes of the set piece, but that’s the first time Liverpool have shown in attack for a wee while.

8.51am EDT 08:51

59 min: From the right corner of the Liverpool box, Rodriguez floats a delicious ball to the far stick. Richarlison slams his header off the post. He received a gentle shove in the back before that effort, and he’s not happy as a result, demanding a penalty. He’s not getting one.

8.49am EDT 08:49

58 min: Everton have enjoyed 75 percent possession in the last five minutes. They’ve clearly taken their pressing up a notch since the break, no doubt on the receiving end of a very elegant talking-to at half-time.

8.48am EDT 08:48

56 min: Robertson is up and about again. A thumbs up to the bench, and it’s relief for Liverpool. “Commentators in the US are saying that had Pickford committed that ‘tackle’ inside the centre circle, he’d be off,” reports Justin Kavanagh. “Had he committed it inside a UFC cage, he’d be off.”

8.46am EDT 08:46

55 min: The referee and VAR decide it was simply some scrappy nonsense. But Robertson stays down, more worrying signs for Liverpool.

8.45am EDT 08:45

54 min: Mina shoves Robertson from behind. Robertson goes down, then stretches out in frustration at Allan, who in turn collapses. The referee needs some help from VAR to find out what went on.

8.43am EDT 08:43

52 min: Everton knock it around with confidence. Rodriguez, Gomes, Doucoure and Allan seeing plenty of the ball right now.

8.42am EDT 08:42

50 min: Rodriguez caresses a glorious right-to-left diagonal pass to Digne, who fizzes a low ball into the centre for Calvert-Lewin. The in-form striker should score, ahead of Gomez, but takes a fresh-air swipe, allowing Adrian to smother. What a chance … and that was a truly sensational pass by Rodriguez.

8.39am EDT 08:39

48 min: Robertson crosses from the left. Keane half clears. Henderson ambles onto the ball as it drops by the left-hand edge of the D, and fizzes a riser towards the top left. Not far away at all; Pickford might not have reached it had it been on target as intended.

8.38am EDT 08:38

47 min: Thiago sprays a fine diagonal ball towards Salah, who interchanges with Henderson. Salah can’t quite control the return, the ball breaking to Fabinho, who aims for the top right but flays it well wide.

8.34am EDT 08:34

Pickford’s out-of-control scissor tackle on Van Dijk doesn’t get any better upon repeated viewing. As Peter Crouch says on BT Sport, it was a potential leg-breaker. “It’s horrendous.” Leon Osman agreed that it was a potential “career-ender”. Even notorious company man Peter Walton, who usually jumps through hoops of fire to argue the referee got it right, admits: “The foul is still relevant because even though the whistle may have gone, or the game had stopped, players are still accountable for their actions. Personally I think it was serious foul play, and Pickford is lucky not to be sent off.”

8.22am EDT 08:22

HALF TIME: Everton 1-1 Liverpool

A breathless half of football comes to an end. Both teams will be happy with their work up front, perhaps less so with their efforts in defence. Jordan Pickford is lucky to still be on the park. The second half promises much. No flipping!

45 min +4: Salah drifts in from the right. He’s got space and time to size up a pass, with Mane to his right and Firmino to his left. He dallies and finds neither.

8.19am EDT 08:19

45 min +2: Gomes crosses from the left. It’s threatening to float into the top right – think Paul Konchesky for West Ham against Pepe Reina in the 2006 FA Cup Final – and Adrian is forced to tip over the bar. Nothing comes of the resulting corner.

8.18am EDT 08:18

45 min +1: In the first of four added minutes, the free kick is half cleared, then pearled back goalwards by Thiago. It’s a screamer, but one blocked magnificently by Godfrey, improvising bravely, flinging his chest in the taking-one-for-the-president style. Magnificent play all round!

8.17am EDT 08:17

45 min: Rodriguez is booked for a cynical clip on Mane, who was making good towards the Everton box down the left. A free kick just to the side of the area.

8.16am EDT 08:16

44 min: Richarlison spins and hoicks a poor effort miles over the bar from the edge of the box. He’d worked some space and should have tested Adrian. Meanwhile here’s some perspective on the Van Dijk / Pickford incident from Guardian Unlimited’s (ask your granny) favourite Evertonian: “I really do think that Pickford got away with a stone cold red card there,” writes Gary Naylor. “The offside doesn’t matter really – most punch-ups happen in the aftermath of a free kick. Pickford spends 90 minutes out of control and that ‘challenge’ definitely endangered an opponent.”

8.14am EDT 08:14

42 min: Henderson takes a whack in the mouth while trying to prod home a fizzing low right-wing cross by Firmino. It’s accidental, as he runs into Godfrey while the ball clanks off Mina. Liverpool’s captain is back up and running quickly enough.

8.13am EDT 08:13

41 min: Doucoure flashes a ball across the face of the Liverpool box from the right. Calvert-Lewin tries to flick home, but can’t get enough purchase on it. Then Rodriguez plays a glorious no-look through ball down the inside left for Gomes, but the flag goes up for offside. This is so open.

8.12am EDT 08:12

40 min: They’ve just shown a replay of Pickford’s challenge on Van Dijk. I have no idea how the keeper wasn’t sent off, wrapping both legs around the defender’s standing leg and twisting his knee. An awful challenge. That could be a serious injury for Liverpool’s defensive lynchpin.

8.10am EDT 08:10

39 min: Another soft Salah finish as he interchanges with Thiago down the inside right. Thiago looks very impressive, like that’s breaking news.

8.10am EDT 08:10

37 min: Robertson hauls down Rodriguez. A free kick’s flung in from the right. Liverpool clear and nearly bust Everton open on the counter, Mane and Henderson combining cutely in the middle, Alexander-Arnold nearly freeing Mane with a crossfield pass. Not quite.

8.08am EDT 08:08

36 min: Liverpool are beginning to press Everton back. Allen fouls Mane. Thiago flicks the free kick into the box, Salah nearly finding enough space to get a shot away from a tight position on the left. He’s crowded out, and nothing comes from the resulting corner.

8.07am EDT 08:07

34 min: Liverpool nearly retake the lead with a sensational move down the left, Firmino nutmegging Doucoure and freeing Robertson, who cuts back for Mane. Mane opens his body and nearly finds the bottom right with a guided sidefoot. Close, and I’m not sure Pickford had it covered.
