GOODISON PARK — The last derby in Goodison history ended in predictably combustible fashion, with a 97th minute equaliser from James Tarkowski and a flurry of red cards after the final whistle.
Referee Michael Oliver also faced a verbal barrage from Liverpool manager Arne Slot, who was shown red, while Doucoure, booked during the game, was shown a second yellow, as was Jones.
The striker had already assisted on Alexis Mac Allister’s equaliser, cancelling out an early opener from Beto as the famous old stadium hosted its last derby.
It was Salah’s 22nd goal of the season and 14th assist – his 36 goal involvements more than ten teams have in the Premier League table.
Tim Iroegbunam helped the ball on to the defender who volleyed sweetly home, although VAR took a long look before allowing the goal to stand.
Mac Allister gave away a free-kick for an 11th minute foul on Iliman Ndiaye, with Branthwaite taking the free-kick.
The striker still had Alisson to beat but did it superbly, with a composed right-foot finish through the Brazilian’s body.

It was just the start the neutral would have predicted, and wanted, as the “Grand Old Lady” hosted its 120th, and last, Liverpool derby. It was also the last night game that Goodison will stage and Evertonians certainly wanted to see their home out with a roar.
And once the action started on the pitch, it was all suitably frantic; Tarkowski setting the tone when he clattered into Cody Gakpo after all of ten seconds.
It took until first half stoppage time for either keeper to be forced into a save, Szoboszlai unleashing a long shot that Jordan Pickford parried, with the keeper and Tarkowski combining to block Luis Diaz on the follow-up.
But the interval arrived with five bookings having been made by Oliver and the smart money being on a red one after the break.
