James Tarkowski's dramatic equalizer in the 8th minute of stoppage time secured a 2-2 draw for Everton against Liverpool in a chaotic final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park. After Mohamed Salah's goal appeared to seal victory for the Reds, Tarkowski's volley sparked wild celebrations from the Everton faithful. The match also saw several red cards as tensions boiled over between players and fans.
Goodison Park’s final Merseyside derby produced one of the most dramatic finishes in its history as James Tarkowski equalised in the eighth minute of added time to snatch a 2-2 draw for Everton against Liverpool.
Salah had earlier provided the assist for Alexis Mac Allister’s first-half equaliser after Beto, who gave Virgil van Dijk one of his more uncomfortable evenings, had scored the opener. As befitting the occasion it had the feel of a throwback to the derbies of 20 years ago, when Moyes first took charge, with the hosts’ snarling, snapping style trying to knock Liverpool out of their more measured style as bookings outscored shots on target five to three in the first half.
Mac Allister appeared not to connect with Iliman Ndiaye in the centre-circle but Oliver awarded the free-kick and Jarrad Branthwaite caught the defence napping with a quickly-taken pass into the inside-left channel. Beto continued to be a cause for concern for the visiting centre-backs but Ndiaye’s night was ended when he limped off with a knee injury, covering his face with his shirt to hide the tears.
