Everton came from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Liverpool in a blood-and-thunder Merseyside derby in the Premier League. More

90+5 Sterling on the run now, he takes on Distin and now Suarez is in but puts well wide from an angle. And that's it - a 2-2 draw. Phew, what a game.
90+3 Free-kick Liverpool that Gerrard will take.... He swings it in AND SUAREZ SCORES! But no, offside! The flag is up and his celebration is short-lived! Ah, not offside, a foul by Coates on Jagielka when heading it down to Suarez I think. Certainly not offside.
87' Coelman is booked for a foul on Sterling.
86' EVERTON SUB: Oviedo on for Naismith.
84' Enrique's long ball releases Suarez, he takes on Distin, beats him, Baines flies in and hooks it away! Panic in the Everton box, corner.
83' Henderson does well to keep the ball in after foolish play from Gueye, the loose ball breaks for GERRARD but blocked by Jagielka! Corner.
80' Gerrad with a fine through-ball to Suarez, who falls over. Cheers all over Goodison.
74' A super Baines cross almost finds Baines and Jelavic, bodies everywhere but no foul. Now Liverpool break, Henderson in on the right and his poor cross almost swings in as Howard tips over.
70' Nasty stamp on Distin's ankle by Suarez, he claims an accident but to be honest he should declare on the booking.
69' LIVERPOOL SUB: The Reds go to four at the back as Henderson replaces Wisdom.
68' Jagielka with a miskick, Fellaini shoves Agger who is booked. I think that was for handling after he'd been pushed which, if the ref decides it's not a free-kick, is the correct decision. Stange booking.
66' Baines again to take this free-kick, a more direct delivery AND IT FINDS THE UNMARKED JELAVIC WHO HEADS WIDE! Bad miss by his standards!
60' FANTASTIC BLOCK BY SKRTEL! Coleman with a one-two with Fellaini to race clear wide right, fine low cross but Skrtel flies in to hack away.
57' Jagielka pulls back Sterling as the youngster looked to run on to a high ball. Only a booking, could have been a red, but Marriner appears to have been unsure that the ball would have reached him. It was an up-and-under to be fair.
50' Everton want a penalty after Baines is clattered very late by Skrtel after drilling a cross in. That came from a Jelavic drive that was too hot to handle for Jones.
49' Terrible miss by Sterling! He was sent one-on-one inside from the left, and he tried to dink it over Howard but completely mis-hit it. Suarez is furious as a. he should have scored and b. the Uruguayan was unmarked for the tap-in.
47' Shelvey on the run, great ball wide to Wisdom, fine low ball that Baines gets a touch on which takes it away from Suarez to Howard! Crucial touch.
46' The second half is underway.
46' Loads of changes here - two for Liverpool as Shelvey replaces Suso and Coates for Sahin, a formation switch too; Liverpool replace the injured Mirallas with Gueye.

Hopefully they turn it around second half"; @tomgee9: "Suso has been invisible and Wisdom is being torn up. Something needs to be fixed there. " FOLLOW ON TWITTER!

45+3 Half-time and it's 2-2 between Everton and Liverpool. Needless to say it's been a decent half of football.
45+2 Neville is pushed by Agger on the edge of the box but the ref decides he's dived! Head in hands moment for Phil Neville. Odd.
43' Jelavic flicks it on for Naismith, the Everton fans think he was fouled but play on. Now Mirallas with a super turn inside from the left but Skrtel blocks his finish. Lovely skill! Corner.
38' Mirallas on the left, fantastic run and drive but tipped away by Jones! Corner!
35' GOAL EVERTON! Naismith levels at 2-2! Mirallas with a low cross that hits Fellaini, but the big man controls it on the turn and whips a marvellous low swerving ball between the centre-backs that Naismith thrashes in. What. A. Game.
32' Sterling needs to cool it, hacking down Baines after Allen failed to play him in. Silly tackle, he is lucky not to be sent off. Rodgers will do well to sub him off asap.
29' Booking for Sterling, who cynically obstructs Baines after the Everton left-back leaves him for dead on the wing.
28' Fellaini pokes it wide after Mirallas and Jelavic combine brilliantly on the left! It got caught between the Belgian's feet.
27' JUST WIDE FROM SUAREZ! From nothing he pings a rasping drive that gets a faint touch off Jagielka he claims, but the ref correctly disagrees. Goal kick.
25' Wisdom accused of fouling Mirallas but no penalty says the ref. Now Mirallas crosses back in and Skrtel flicks his defensive header just wide! Corner. Great response from Everton.
22' GOAL EVERTON! Jones weakly punches the corner, the loose ball drops to Osman, who takes a superb first touch and drives a low finish bottom left, half-volley. 2-1.
21' JUST WIDE FROM FELLAINI! Deflected by Enrique's lunging block! The Belgian flicked a headr away from Agger before smashing a low drive towards goal.
20' GOAL LIVERPOOL! Gerrard drives in a brilliant free-kick and Suarez flies across to touch it into the bottom right! A header from Suarez, his second goal, 2-0!!
15' Suarez with a diving celebration at the feet of David Moyes, who made some barbed comments about his alleged simulation before the match. Funny but provocative.
14' GOAL LIVERPOOL! Suarez! He rams it in from a tight angle, possibly deflected, after a fantastic run and cross from Enrique! Sterling almost converted the cross himself but appeared to be shoved!
9' Naismith charges down a Suso clearance and Baines finds Mirallas. Super run from Mirallas, beating three or four men down the left and whipping in a low cross that Agger hacks behind. Corner!

2' Baines to take this corner for Everton on the right but a good header away from Agger. Mirallas is caught in possession by Enrique, who races away into the Everton half, the break is on and Sterling is free! But Enrique, perhaps a bit rusty and on the right side suddenly, gets the pass all wrong. You wanted pretty much anyone else there (except Skrtel).

45′ That linesman should be fined and suspended that' was not offside and he knows it . You got it wrong admit it. Disgrace
Premier league refs and lines men are a joke. They must be corrupt or blind, but what they don't realize they are doing is destroying games of football on a weekly basis.
we should win this game.. why always us? majority of The FA refs are against us.. why u so/???? btw, nice and tense Merseyside Derby ever in this past 5 years... Merseyside still RED.. not BLUE.. hehe.. You'll Never Walk Alone.. :)
poor, poor decision from reff & linesman..should be win for liverpool..
LIVERPOOL YOU CAN DO MUCH BETTER.
Everton wasn't the team to come to appease Liverpool but what is to be done when a host is too much kind and generous with his guest? We Everton fans aren't unhappy but on the contrary we'r happy the second honourable english club can now little by little come out of crisis.
This night was the night of early own goals and generous hosts. Baines's early error did Liverpool a big favour granting them the opportunity to hold off Everton. This one point was a gift from Blues hospitality. Happy Liverpool fans for this lucky draw, you must be grateful to Baines.
where's the comments???
Karma the buck toothed bigot now knows what it means well done the ref , this guy cheat,s so much he should go to chelsea
COYB!!!
saurez is a nasty piece of work should have been booked for diving at the everton bench,also the sly tackle on merales and a downright nasty stamp down the back of distan if rodgers does not stop his antics ' liverpool tradition of fair play and decency will be laughed at all the world
That goal should have stood, there was no foul and no offside, the linesman is a disgrace!!
bad referee no balls
Everton score one from a throw in that wasn't theirs, Suarez winner wrongly disallowed. David Moyes states spectators won't come to watch games when the likes of Suarez dive all the time, will he say the same about his captain.
Moyes must pay a lot for the referee !!!! If Everton proud of the result they should be shame for themselves because they just stole a victory by cheating !!!
n
Why the f*** are english refrees so useless? this is why premiere league is so #$%$ gay ill stick to la liga thank you very much.
nnnn
Lol what a stupid linesman...
