Everton seemed to take a cheeky dig at Liverpool skipper Virgil van Dijk after his comments following the Merseyside derby this week.

James Tarkowski's 98th-minute equaliser ignited pandemonium at Goodison Park, which staged the storied rivalry for the last time before Everton relocates to its new stadium next season.

With Tarkowski making it 2-2, fans swarmed the pitch in celebration, leading to a major fracas involving players from both teams by the visitors' section.



Post-match, referee Michael Oliver issued four red cards, including one to Liverpool boss Arne Slot.

Six fixtures remain at Goodison before the end of the Premier League season and Everton tweeted out footage of supporters mid-chant captioned with: "Six more 'finals' left at Goodison," accompanied by emojis—a smirking face and a sorrowful one.

Give that guy a raise."

Before the match, Liverpool fans took a jab at Everton, reminding them of their trophy drought since their FA Cup victory in 1995.

However, Everton will be unfazed by the jibes now, as they revel in a night to remember at their iconic home ground.

"A special, special night and what a way to finish the last derby here," Tarkowski reflected.

"It will be a special moment for the rest of my career and probably the biggest moment for me really

"I've had a couple of proud moments; promotions and playing for my country, but for me this is the biggest just with everything which is happening right now, leaving this iconic stadium, probably for me it will be the biggest goal of my career."
