The competition for the championship became strange as Liverpool failed to win away to Everton.
Liverpool tied Everton 2-2 in the 15th round of the English Premier League (EPL) at Goodison Park in Liverpool, England, at 4:30 a.m. on the 13th (Korea time). Liverpool failed to clearly widen the gap with second-place Arsenal by adding only one point.
First, home team Everton started Betu, Iliman Ndiaye, Abdullaye Dukure, Yesfer Linstrum, Idrissa Gueye, James Garner, Vitali Mykolenko, James Branswaite, James Tacowski, Jake O'Brien and Jordan Pickford.
Liverpool selected Luis Diaz, Cody Hakpo, Dominique Sobosleri, Mohamed Salah, Alexis McAllister, Ryan Hravenberg, Andy Robertson, Virgil van Dijk, Ibrahima Konate, Conor Bradley and Alisson Becker.
In a tense atmosphere of the game, Everton led with a surprise score. In the 11th minute of the first half, a free kick near the half-line did not go directly to the gate, but a pass that caught Bransway off guard continued to the front. Liverpool's defense lost focus at the moment, and Beto received the ball and handled it calmly.
Liverpool, ranked first in the league, was not a team that would collapse like this. Immediately after the 16th minute of the first half, Liverpool brought the game to square one. Salah's cross was connected to the center. At this time, McAllister, who penetrated into the penalty box, scored with an exquisite header.
Everton have lost a key striker. In the 21st minute of the first half, Ndiaye was competing with Sobosler and his ankle was broken while kicking the ball. Ndiaye, the Everton ace, recently collapsed. Ndiaye was limp, eventually replaced with tears. Jack Harrison came in.
As the Merseyside derby-like rough game continued, five warnings came out in the first half alone. Two Liverpool and three Everton. Sobosler caught the ball in the last Liverpool attack of the first half. It was a ball that was sucked into the square, but Pickford saved Everton.
Everton took the first chance in the second half. In the 8th minute of the second half, Gueye momentarily dug into the penalty box and crossed. It was delivered exactly to Dukure, who was free, but the header headed in a strange direction.
When Liverpool failed to catch up at all in the second half, Trent Alexander Arnold and Curtis Jones were put in in the 16th minute of the second half. Bradley and Hravenberg have been replaced.
Branthwaite scored from a corner kick in the 24th minute of the second half, but he was not recognized as a score because he was declared offside.
King Salah did it in the end. Salah saved Liverpool, which had been pushed throughout the second half. In the 28th minute of the second half, Liverpool attacked for the first time in a long time. After the cross was not handled properly, Jones received the ball and tried to shoot. Salah caught the ball that Branthwaite cleared with his head and finished calmly. It was Salah's 22nd goal in the league.
Everton's atmosphere, which had been maintained until the middle of the second half, completely cooled after Salah's score. Liverpool spent their time in a game-clinching operation. However, in the 7th minute of extra time in the second half, Tacowski's theatrical goal, which suddenly came to the penalty box, caused Everton to score one point.
