Diogo Jota - 6
The Portuguese came on for Nunez with 10 minutes left. He had a chance with a stoppage time header but was unable to convert.

EVERTON RATINGS: Jordan Pickford - 9 The 28-year-old made magnificent saves from Nunez and Firmino and brushed Salah’s last-gasp shot on to the post. In an even game, Liverpool had better chances but the goalkeeper would not be beaten.

Nathan Patterson - 7
The Scot kept a lid on Diaz for most of the game. He could have been more effective going forward – his passing was a little scattergun – but he was excellent in his primary job. EPA
Conor Coady - 7
The 29-year-old showed all his experience in directing the defence. He tackled and used space well but was disappointed to stray just offside before putting the ball in the Liverpool net. AP
James Tarkowski - 7
The 29-year-old made a plethora of blocks and vital interventions. He was dominant in the air during an assured display. Action Images
Vitaliy Mykolenko - 7
The Ukrainian kept a tight rein on Salah. He was rarely exposed and played a big role in ensuring that the defence were rarely over-run. Getty
Tom Davies - 6
The 24-year-old hit the post from close range and showed plenty of energy. He put pressure on the opposition ballcarriers until replaced by Gueye in the 62nd minute. AP
Amadou Onana - 7
The Belgian was influential in the midfield and disrupted Liverpool’s tempo. He also looked to get his team on the front foot when on the ball. Reuters
Alex Iwobi - 6
The 26-year-old ran hard to give Everton an attacking outlet but his use of the ball was not as precise as required. Getty
Demarai Gray - 6
The 26-year-old got into dangerous positions but his distribution was not at the same level as his approach work. His passing needed improvement. Reuters
Anthony Gordon - 7
The 21-year-old tested Alisson with a first-half snapshot and caused consternation by running at the defence. He was niggly and prone to go down easily, traits that irritated the opposition. McNeil came on for him with eight minutes to go. Action Images
Neal Maupay - 6
The Frenchman was bright on his debut but missed a splendid chance to give his side the lead. His presence up front suggested he will be a positive influence for the team in the future. EPA
SUBS: Idrissa Gueye - 6
The Senegalese began his second spell at Goodison in the 62nd minute when he replaced Davies. He was busy and showed some positive signs.
AP
Dwight McNeil - 7
The 22-year-old came on for Gordon in the 82nd minute and was immediately involved. He was unfortunate to see his deflected effort saved by a full-stretch Alisson.
Getty
LIVERPOOL RATINGS: Alisson Becker - 8 The Brazilian was not as busy as his opposite number but he made two crucial saves, stopping Maupay when the striker seemed certain to score and tipping over a deflected shot from McNeil.
Getty
Trent Alexander-Arnold - 4
The 23-year-old was not a factor going forward. His passing was off beam and he did not look secure defensively. He was substituted for Milner in the 59th minute. Reuters
Joe Gomez - 7
The 25-year-old made a first-half error in the area and was lucky that Davies hit the post but was otherwise steady even though Everton tried to attack him. His pace and composure stood out. PA
Virgil van Dijk - 6
The Dutchman was rarely rattled in the chaotic atmosphere and made some timely interventions. His distribution could have been better. PA
Kostas Tsimikas - 6
The Greek was given a testing time by Gordon, which limited his contribution going forward. He made way for Robertson in the 59th minute. Reuters
Harvey Elliott - 5
The 19-year-old could not impose himself on the game. He tried to get Liverpool going but was denied the time and space to have an impact. He made way for Matip with 10 minutes to go. AFP
Fabinho - 6
The Brazilian struggled to dominate the midfield and was unable to dictate the pace. His tackling was effective, his passing less so. He was denied by a fine save from Pickford. Reuters
Fabio Carvalho - 3
The Portuguese picked up an injury and was replaced by Firmino at the break but even before the knock the 20-year-old was lost in the frantic derby midfield. A chastening experience for the youngster, who made way for Firmino at the break. EPA
Mohamed Salah - 5
The Egyptian saw little of the ball and barely had a touch in the opposition box. His one real chance came in stoppage time and his shot was brushed on to the woodwork by Pickford. AP
Darwin Nunez - 6
The Uruguayan should have done better with two first-half headers but then forced Pickford to make a world-class save. He was replaced by Jota with 10 minutes to go. AFP
Luis Diaz - 7
The Colombian hit the inside of the post and was involved in a compelling battle with Patterson. His running was relentless. EPA
SUBS: Roberto Firmino - 7
The Brazilian came on for Carvalho at the break and lifted the team considerably. He was able to get forward but was twice foiled by Pickford.
Reuters
Andrew Robertson - 6
The Scot joined the action at the expense of Tsimikas in the 59th minute and spent much of the time tracking back to stop Everton attacks.
PA
James Milner - 6
The 36-year-old replaced Alexander-Arnold in the 59th minute and struggled at right back. He was on more secure ground when he moved into midfield.
AFP
Joel Matip - 6
The 31-year-old entered the game with 10 minutes to go for Elliott. He slotted into the back four.
