Liverpool, Everton trade equal blows in thrilling 3-3 Premier League draw

Liverpool and Everton traded blows almost from the first whistle during their Premier League clash at Goodison Park on Saturday before both took a point at its conclusion, drawing 3-3 in the match.

Liverpool's Philippe Coutinho gave the visitors an early lead but Kevin Mirallas, who was saved from being sent off for a first-half tackle on Luis Suarez, quickly equalised in the eighth minute, although Suarez restored Liverpool's advantage before half-time.

According to the BBC, however, Romelu Lukaku, who had twice been thwarted by Liverpool keeper Simon Mignolet, side-footed home the equaliser before his towering header put the hosts ahead with eight minutes left, although Daniel Sturridge's late equaliser rescued a point for Liverpool in the classic Merseyside derby.

Liverpool could only put Sturridge on the bench after he struggled with a thigh injury on England duty - but Suarez was available after flying back from Uruguay aboard owner, the report added.
