The final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park got the wonderful ending such a storied rivalry deserved. With a howitzer from James Tarkowski tying the match 2-2 om the dying minutes, the away ends chants of title triumphs across the Stanley Park were silenced.

Few fixtures in English football capture the imagination like the Merseyside derby between Everton and Liverpool. Goodison Park staged the inaugural meeting in 1894 as the fierce rivalry was born and 119 subsequent duels have been fought on the blue side of Stanley Park.

The quality might have been lacking, but the drama certainly wasn't in a 2-2 derby draw that will live long in the memories of the Goodison Park faithful.
