LIVERPOOL, Feb 13 — James Tarkowski’s dramatic 98th-minute goal secured a 2-2 draw for Everton against Liverpool in the final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park, as four red cards were shown after the final whistle.
Liverpool extended their Premier League lead to seven points, but Tarkowski’s late strike denied them a crucial win after Mohamed Salah had put Arne Slot’s side ahead.
The match ended in chaos, with Everton’s Abdoulaye Doucoure, Liverpool’s Curtis Jones, Slot, and his assistant Sipke Hulshoff all sent off following heated confrontations.
“It was very tough,” admitted Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk, expressing frustration over the missed opportunity. Everton boss David Moyes called it a “mental” game, fitting for Goodison Park’s last derby before their move to a new stadium.
Liverpool had fought back after Beto’s early goal for Everton, with Alexis Mac Allister equalizing before halftime. Salah’s late strike seemed to seal the win, but Tarkowski’s last-gasp goal sparked wild celebrations.
With tempers flaring, VAR checks and pitch invasions added to the drama, ensuring this final Goodison derby will be remembered for its intensity, controversy, and unforgettable ending. — AFP
