In one of the central matches of the 5th round of the English Premier League, the current leader of the standings Everton and the champion of Liverpool met.

The fight at Goodison Park ended in a combat draw - 2: 2.

Sadio Mane already in the 3rd minute brought the “red” forward, hammering the ball under the crossbar after a cross from the left flank from Robertson.

On the 19th minute, the “butterscotch” won back - Michael Keane, with a header, closed the serve from a corner from James Rodriguez.

In the 72nd minute, Jurgen Klopp's team again took the lead - Mohammed Salah scored with an accurate shot to the far corner.

However, Carlo Ancelotti's charges found the strength to save the draw. In the 81st minute, Dominic Calvert-Lewin headed a high serve from the left flank.

At the end of the match, “butterscotch” remained in the minority - a direct red card for a rough tackle was given to Richarlison.

In stoppage time, Liverpool scored their third goal of the match - Jordan Henderson completed a touch-down shot to Mane in the center of the penalty area, but the referee, after prompting from VAR video assistants, canceled the goal due to an offside position in the Senegalese striker.

It should be added that at the beginning of the meeting, one of the leaders of the “red” - central defender Virgil Van Dyck was injured.

Everton continue to lead the Premier League with 13 points. Liverpool have 10 points and are in second position.

In the next round, Ancelotti's charges will play against Southampton on 25 October, and Liverpool will face Sheffield United on 24 October.
