So, the final score in Merseyside derbies at Goodison Park reads: Everton 41, Liverpool 41, 38 draws. Thanks for joining me, it’s been emotional. Here’s Andy Hunter on a wild night on Merseyside.

Here’s the Liverpool captain, Virgil van Dijk. “It was always going to be intense. It’s very disappointing to lose it in the last second of the game, or even over extra time – but we take it and move on. The referee had a big part in the game, in terms of what fouls were given. This is [Everton’s] cup final and they’ll do anything they can to try and win.”

On the late red cards: “Doucoure wanted to provoke our fans, and Curtis thought that wasn’t the right thing to do. I think the ref didn’t have the game under control in my opinion, I said that to him. It is what it is, I guess we take the point and move on.”
