James Tarkowski lashed in an incredible 98th-minute equaliser as Everton salvaged a dramatic 2-2 draw with Liverpool in the last Merseyside derby at Goodison Park, Sky Sports reported.

Mohamed Salah had looked to have stolen the show when giving Liverpool the lead late in the game, completing a turnaround started when Alexis Mac Allister cancelled out Beto's early goal. But Tarkowski's rocket is the moment everyone will now remember.

Abdoulaye Doucoure and Curtis Jones both saw red in the melee that followed the final whistle as raw emotion engulfed the stadium, supporters having spilled onto the pitch after the equaliser. When the dust settles, Liverpool still sit seven points clear at the top - although Arne Slot and assistant Sipke Hulshoff were also sent off for their complaints towards referee Michael Oliver.

But it was Tarkowski and Everton who had the final say that mattered in this derby farewell to Goodison Park, the clubs now deadlocked on 41 wins apiece here for eternity.
