Liverpool and Everton duelled out a lively Merseyside derby on a night where tempers flared and goals were scored.

With chances to win this game late on for either side, a point seemed a fair reflection of Sunday afternoon’s encounter between two top four teams.

Away from the celebrations surrounding the opening of the new Main Stand, Liverpool confidently dealt with the reigning champions Leicester City on the Anfield turf.
