Jordan Pickford 4, Dominic Calvert-Lewin 8; Mohamed Salah 8: Everton v Liverpool player ratings

Honours even in Merseyside derby as in-form home striker earns side draw at Goodison Park

• 

  EVERTON RATINGS: Jordan Pickford - 4: Terrible challenge on Van Dijk. Could easily have been sent off and was lucky the Dutchman was offside. Made a couple of great stops but VAR saved the goalkeeper from embarrassment when Henderson’s goal was ruled offside. EPA

• 

  Seamus Coleman - 4: Should have cut out the danger for Liverpool’s opening goal. Struggled against the raiding Robertson. Limped off on 31 minutes after aggravating a hamstring injury. PA

• 

  Yerry Mina - 4: Dreadful defending for Salah’s goal. Had been efficient enough to that point but made life easy for the Egyptian. AFP

• 

  Michael Keane - 7: Great header for the equaliser. The best of the home side’s defenders with a solid performance. PA

• 

  Lucas Digne - 6: Frequently looked like he was living on the edge as Liverpool pinged the ball around but managed to hold his ground. Getty

• 

  Abdoulaye Doucoure - 7: Forming a useful battling partnership with Allan in the midfield. Made sure things were never easy for Liverpool. PA

• 

  Allan - 8: Grew into the game after being left flatfooted by Liverpool’s fast start. Made Thiago’s life uncomfortable. His ability to break up opposition attacks so important . AFP

• 

  Andre Gomes - 4: Way off the pace in the first half. Unable to stop the threat of Alexander-Arnold. Replaced by Sigurdsson with 16 minutes to go. Reuters

• 

  James Rodriguez - 8: Sometimes touch was awry but capable of turning the game in a flash. Has moments when he is utterly unplayable. The creative hub of Carlo Ancelotti’s side. Getty

• 

  Dominic Calvert-Lewin - 8: Emerging as a top-class centre forward. Towering header for the second equaliser capped a splendid performance. A constant irritant for Liverpool's defence. AFP

• 

  SUBS: Ben Godfrey - (On for Coleman 31') 7: Made his debut when replacing Coleman just after the half hour and was deployed out of position at right back. The 22-year-old centre back more than held his own. PA

• 

  Gylfi Sigurdsson - (On for Gomes 72') 5: Was brought on as Everton chased the equaliser. Unable to make much difference. AP

• 

  Alex Iwobi - (On for Doucoure 78') N/A. Getty

• 

  LIVERPOOL RATINGS: Adrian - 4: Nervy, unsure performance. His skittishness transmits itself to defenders. Team is much less secure when the Spaniard is between the sticks. EPA

• 

  Trent Alexander-Arnold - 6: Good work down the right and a threat in set-piece situations. Influential in the attacking third. Getty

• 

  Joel Matip - 5: Stepped up after Van Dijk’s departure. Tested Pickford with an excellent header. Reuters

• 

  Virgil van Dijk - N/A: Poleaxed by Pickford early on and limped off after 11 minutes. Had started aggressively, making sure Rodriguez knew he was there. EPA

• 

  Andrew Robertson - 6: Always eager to get up the pitch and instrumental in the opening goal. Brings a mean streak to Jurgen Klopp’s side. Getty

• 

  Fabinho - 5: Does not get enough chances to shine in this deep role but always puts in the effort. Could have been stronger in challenging Keane before the equaliser. Reuters

• 

  Thiago Alcantara - 7: Oozes class. Always keen to get on the ball. Adds an extra dimension to Liverpool’s attack. AFP

• 

  Jordan Henderson - 7: Midfield workhorse whose contribution is essential but often overlooked. Thought he had scored the winner but denied by a strange VAR decision. EPA

• 

  Sadio Mane - 8: Put away the opening goal expertly and always a danger. Liverpool’s most influential attacker. AFP

• 

  Mohamed Salah - 8: Radiates threat and unnerves defenders. Did not strike the ball particularly well up until his goal. Reuters

• 

  Roberto Firmino - 5: Not the most eye-catching performance from the Brazilian but he does create room for Mane and Salah. EPA

• 

  SUBS: Joe Gomez - (On for Van Dijk 11') 5: Replaced Van Dijk after 11 minutes. Did not do much wrong but the drop-off in leadership was apparent. Reuters

• 

  Diogo Jota - (On for Firmino 78') N/A. Drove into the box but was unable to take advantage of a half-chance. AP

• 

  Georginio Wijnaldum - (On for Fabinho 90 +1) N/A: Little chance to make any impact in stoppage time. Getty

Jurgen Klopp hailed his "dominant" Liverpool side after they were forced to settle for a 2-2 draw against Everton on Saturday, when captain Jordan Henderson had a stoppage-time winner ruled out for offside.

Everton twice came from behind to maintain their unbeaten start to the Premier League season in a pulsating Merseyside derby.

Mohamed Salah put Klopp's men 2-1 in front with 18 minutes to go with his 100th Liverpool goal, only for the in-form Dominic Calvert-Lewin's towering header dragging Everton level again.

Premier League leaders Everton were reduced to 10 men when Richarlison was sent off late on for a high tackle but then earned a reprieve when Henderson's goal was ruled out for the tightest of offside decisions against Sadio Mane.

"The performance was top, it was a top game and a good game for both teams," Klopp told BT Sport. "We were dominant against a side full of confidence and with a clear plan."

The German manager was delighted to see a positive reaction from his team after their 7-2 humbling at Aston Villa before the international break.

"It was probably the best away game since I was at Liverpool," he said. "I saw a really good performance. I would be more happy if we win but I wanted to see a response and see the team we were before."
