Everton have caught the ankle of local rival Liverpool.
Everton drew 2-2 at Goodison Park in Liverpool, England on the 13th (Korea time) thanks to James Tacowski's dramatic equalizer in the seventh minute of extra time in the second half in the 24th round of the EPL 2024-2025 season against Liverpool.
David Moyes, who returned to Everton for the first time in 12 years, recently led Everton's rebound in relegation with three consecutive wins and won a valuable point in the Merseyside Derby. Everton, ranked 15th, scored 27 points to tie Tottenham, ranked 14th.
Liverpool, the leader, was blocked from winning three games in a row in Everton's away game. He had to settle for 57 points to widen the gap between second-place Arsenal (50 points) from six to seven points.
Liverpool, which suffered a shock defeat by lower league Plymouth in the FA Cup at the weekend, consisted of Luis Díaz, Cody Hakpo, Dominic Sobosleri and Mohamed Salah. Alexis McAllister and Ryan Hravenhrach set up the midfield, with Conor Bradley, Ibrahima Konate, Virgil van Dijk and Andy Robertson four backs. Alisson defended the goal.

Everton, who have recently rebounded to the extent that they have won three consecutive games since David Moyes' return, put Betu at the top and set up a second line of attack with Ilimang Ndiaye, Abdoulaye Doucoure and Yesfer Lindstrom. Gueye, Garner guards the midfield, while Vitaly Mykolenko, Jared Branswaite, James Tacowski and Jake O'Brien play four backs. Jordan Pickford defended the goal.
Everton, who had a surprise 2-0 win at home in April last year, took the lead with Betu's first goal in the 11th minute of the first half. In a free kick situation, Beto calmly cut into the net after receiving a space pass that Branthwaite unexpectedly stabbed.
Liverpool did not panic. Five minutes later, McAllister brought the game back to square one. McAllister opened the goal with a header after Salah, who caught the ball on the right side of the opponent's camp, floated it to the door. 22 min Everton midfielder Ndiaye was replaced by Jack Harrison due to injury. The first half ended 1-1.

The slot manager made a large-scale replacement in the middle of the second half when the game did not go his way. Trent Alexander-Arnold, Curtis Jones, Constantinos Tsimikas, and Darwin Núñez were deployed one after another to make changes to the fullback and the offense.
In the 28th minute of the second half, Liverpool scored a long-awaited come-from-behind goal. The main character was also 'Ace'Sala. Jones' shot from inside the box hit Pickford's hand and headed to the right. Salah, who caught the ball, scored with his right foot, not 'Pubal'. 22nd goal in the league.
In the third minute of second-half stoppage time, Everton's team Iro Egbunam shot turned away from the goal. Liverpool, who defended Salah's goal to the end, seemed to be the winner of the Merseyside Derby. However, eight minutes into the second half of extra time, in fact, the drama was written in Everton's last attack. Iro Egbunam's header dropped the ball back to square one with a picturesque volley that Tacauski cut through the corner of the goal. Onside and scoring were recognized after VAR readings to determine whether it was offside. The match ended in a 2-2 draw. After the game, the players of both teams got tangled up, and Dukure and Jones were each warned and sent off due to cumulative warnings.
