- Everton – Liverpool 2-2 (1-1). Follow the Dagbladet football broadcast on Saturday from 8pm
While Liverpool’s goal was to pick themselves up after an embarrassing 2-7 against Aston Villa, Everton had a chance to consolidate their position at the top of the table on Saturday morning.
Liverpool had the victory partly in their pocket, but Everton fought back and are still unbeaten in this year’s season.
Everton 2-2 Liverpool (1-1)
Objective: 0-1 Sadio Mané (3), 1-1 Michael Keane (19), 1-2 Mohamed Salah (72), 2-2 Dominic Calvert-Lewin (81).
Judging: Michael Oliver.
Yellow card: James Rodríguez, André Gomes, Allan, Everton, Sadio Mané, Fabinho, Liverpool.
Red card: Richarlison (90), Everton. (NTB)
The Merseyside derby was far from perfect without drama, among other things Virgil van Dijk had to leave with an injury after being cut by Jordan Pickford, who escaped without consequence. With three minutes remaining, Richarlison was also sent off after a tackle by Thiago, and Liverpool responded immediately by putting the ball into goal.
However, it was canceled after an offside fine.
– I am happy with the performance, it is perhaps the best away game we have played. We dominate against a good team and we create many chances. Then we conceded two goals. It’s difficult, there are several things that happened today. I have not seen the offside, but the way Pickford entered I think it is a clear punishment, says Jürgen Klopp in the interview shown on TV 2.
Regarding the disallowed goal, it says the following:
– I have seen the situation again, and in that photo it is not offside. It is incomprehensible to me. Can someone explain it to me ?, says Klopp.

Early handling
Liverpool took the lead almost immediately at Goodison Park on Saturday morning. Sadio Mané finished off a great pass from the left, finishing the goalkeeper without problems.
Although the score came early, it was not contrary to the outlook of the match. Liverpool initially controlled the match.

However, the Reds had a blast when midfielder Virgil van Dijk had to leave after just ten minutes, following an ugly tackle from Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, who was lucky enough to escape without a card in the situation.
– Dangerous to life, says TV 2 presenter Jon Hartvig Børrestad.
– It’s the ugliest thing I’ve seen on a football field, says expert Brede Hangeland.
Good score
Everton came to life. After 20 minutes of play, a new cold shower came for Liverpool when Michael Keane put the ball into the goal after a corner kick.
Trent Alexander-Arnold hit a powerful free kick a few minutes later, but Pickford was able to push the ball into the corner. Sadio Mané also had a great new opportunity when Andy Robertson placed the ball in the middle of 16 meters and Mané shot.
That attempt also went off track.
But Liverpool got paid for the effort and got the ball into the goal. With just over a quarter of an hour to go, Mohamed Salah struck out of nowhere from 12 meters, and the ball was in goal behind Pickford.

Stuck on EQ
And good score.
Liverpool followed up with some chances that forced Pickford to show his best side.
But Everton may have the best striker in the Premier League right now in Dominic Calvert-Lewin. Just ten minutes before the end, he apparently rose above the Liverpool defense when he stabbed at 2-2.
Shortly before the end, it was dramatic again when Richarlison was sent to the locker room after an entrance to Thiago. The answer came immediately, and Liverpool put the ball into the goal, and after a look from the VAR, the goal was disallowed for offside.
– Nobody likes this. We have discussed it so many times. All the coaches, experts and fans probably agree, says TV 2 expert Nils Johan Semb
The Reds had several great opportunities but were unable to stop Everton’s series undefeated in the 2020/2021 Premier League season.
