| Teammates celebrate as Philippe Coutinho scored the opening goal |
The Merseyside Derby ends in a draw after a pulsating match at the Goodison Park.
The scoring began as early as the 5th minute after Philippe Coutinho caught Steven Gerrard's corner, and flicked it before side footing it past Tim Howard and James McCarthy who was inside the goal and give Liverpool the early lead. Four minutes later, Everton equalised after Kevin Mirallas collected the rebound from Ross Barkley in side foot shot in front of Simon Mignolet.
Ten minutes later, Luis Suarez brought Liverpool back in the lead after curling his free kick which slip past between Steven Pienaar and Gareth Barry and escape the outstretched hands of Tim Howard.
Everton suffered a blow when striker Leighton Baines was substituted by Gerrard Deulofeu after limping through an injury. The substitute never disappoints as he was sent clear by Mirallas before his attempt was quickly blocked by Mignolet.
Everton clawed back when Romel Lukaku side footed in the 72nd minute after a flurry of touches that found the ball to him. Ten minutes later in the 82nd minute, Romel Lukaku again soared past Jon Flanagan to score a header and give Everton a close chance at victory. However, that was not meant to be Liverpool striker, Daniel Sturridge, who entered as substitute headed the goal from a free kick by Steven Gerrard.
Then, Gerrard Deulofeu's missed chances and that of Romel Lukaku's anemic pass to his team mate haunts Everton as it could have rendered a different result.
