Liverpool had to settle for a point in the final Merseyside Derby at Goodison Park after a late equaliser from James Tarkowski.
The Reds thought they’d won it after Mohamed Salah put them in front with less than 20 minutes left.
But Tarkowski pounced to make it 2-2 with a volley in the 98th minute of a 95 minute match.
There was some hope for Liverpool after the goal was subject to a VAR check for both an offside and a foul against Ibrahima Konate.
In the end, it was nothing doing and the Tarkowski goal stood.
But there were serious questions over whether Liverpool had been hard done by.
Arne Slot was clearly furious on the touchline and let the officials know it.
And after the Liverpool head coach was shown a red card following the final whistle, former Everton captain Phil Jagielka admitted that Slot might have had a point.

Liverpool fans should have known that something was coming.
With the clock well over 98 minutes – despite only five being added on – there was something brewing.
When the ball came into the box, though, the defence should have simply dealt with it.

Konate may well have been pushed, but he could have been stronger.
Virgil van Dijk was nowhere and Kostas Tsimikas got sucked in too easily.
Nevertheless, according to Jagielka on TNT Sports, Slot had every right to be angry.

“If I am Ibrahima Konate I am wanting a foul for that challenge,” said the former England centre-back.
That’s what a derby does to you.”
Given how biased Jagielka was all evening long on TNT, it was surprise to hear him admit that there probably was a foul on Konate.
And a man who is even less used to holding his hands up where Liverpool are concerned, Rio Ferdinand, also agreed that the Reds had been hard done by.
“If I am Ibrahima Konate I am wanting a foul for that challenge,” said the former Man United man on commentary.
This is likely not the last we’ve heard of this.
