Luke Littler revels in what Everton player did v Liverpool as footage shared
Everton left it late to secure a draw with Liverpool in the final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.
James Tarkowski smashed home a stunning volley in the 97th minute after the Reds had fought back to lead from Beto’s early opener.
The late strike was a fitting conclusion to the last derby at the Blues’ famous old ground and led to pandemonium after the final whistle.
The result was marred by ugly scenes after the contest in which Abdoulaye Doucoure, Curtis Jones, Arne Slot and his assistant manager were sent off by referee Michael Oliver.

Darts prodigy Luke Littler, who is a Manchester United fan, was delighted with the post-match scenes on Merseyside.
The 18-year-old, who won the World Championship in January, shared footage of the Doucoure and Jones fracas in an Instagram story, saying: “Rattled isn’t even the word”.
He had previously reacted to the late leveller, tagging Tarkowski and commenting: “You beauty”

It looked as if the Reds were heading towards a victory that would have taken them nine points clear at the Premier League summit, but the Blues star popped up at the death with a stunning volley.
It epitomises the spirit that Moyes has brought back to the club since he returned that the Toffees players never gave up and fought until the final whistle to deny the Anfield outfit all three points.
The scenes after the whistle show how much it means to stars like Doucoure as the emotions from securing a brilliant result boiled over into chaotic scenes which are likely to land both clubs in hot water.
Both teams have released a joint-statement to condemn the disgusting racist abuse that was hurled towards Doucoure online in the aftermath of the scenes.
If Slot’s side fail to win the Premier League at the end of the season, Blues fans will point towards this result and say that they ‘lost the league at Goodison Park’ just like last season.
Littler and his fellow Red Devils fans will probably join them in celebration if it happens after what he said in his latest post.
