Premier League: VAR foils Liverpool in Merseyside Derby draw with Everton

The Hindu  

Liverpool was foiled by VAR as they were held to a 2-2 Premier League derby draw with Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday after a late effort from Jordan Henderson was ruled out. Liverpool suffered a blow, though, eight minutes later when defender Virgil van Dijk went off injured after a reckless challenge from Everton keeper Jordan Pickford. Liverpool was on top for long stretches and Mohamed Salah restored its lead in the 72nd minute, pouncing on a headed clearance from Yerry Mina and drilling a drive past Pickford. But Everton, determined not to lose its unbeaten record, got back on level terms when James Rodriguez sent Lucas Digne down the left and his perfectly floated cross was headed home by the leaping Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
