Everton 1-1 Liverpool LIVE Score, English Premier League: Beto Draws The Toffees Level In Merseyside Derby

We are entering the final quarter of the contest. Liverpool make change up top as young Ngumoha comes on in place of Isak. Meanwhile, Beto, nursing a knock from the previous play, is brought off for Barry.

No nerves shown by Woodman as the backup goalkeeper puts in a strong hand to deny Ndiaye's effort. The game has really opened up since Everton's opener. It's important to remember that the Toffees have come from behind to beat Liverpool just once since the Second World War.

A massive, massive blow for Liverpool as Mamardashvili – injured during the goal after colliding with Robertson – is carried off a stretcher. Third-choice goalkeeper Freddie Woodman comes on in his place for his Premier League debut for the Reds.

Beto draws Everton level!! A brilliant ball from the left by Mykolenko is chested by Dewsbury-Hall, and the midfielder shields the ball from Konate and cuts it back across the face of the goal. Beto comes sliding in and gets a toepoke to send it past Mamardashvili.

The game has settled a bit in the second half. Everton are trying hard to play their way into the Liverpool third, but the Reds defence is compact. Most of the contest is being played in the middle of the park. David Moyes might turn to his bench soon for a bit of spark.

The players are out of the tunnel and take their positions on the pitch. Liverpool, leading by a goal at the break, take the kick-off to get the Merseyside derby restarted. No change at the break for either side as far as I can see.

Two minutes of stoppage time flies by, and Isak came the closest with a shot straight at Pickford. Chris Kavanagh looks at his watch and blows the half-time whistle. Liverpool lead at the break courtesy of Salah's strike.

Meanwhile, you can also follow our coverage of the match between Manchester City and Arsenal.

The ball finds Gakpo on the left flank, and he cuts inside and pulls the trigger from outside the box. It's a venomous shot, and Pickford does well to tip it behind for a corner.

Everton have had more of the ball and more attempts as well, but Liverpool lead in the only stat that matters. A ball from Branthwaite to Mykolenko wins the Toffees their first corner, but it's easily dealt with by Liverpool.

Salah scores for Liverpool! An absolute mayhem of two minutes for the Toffees, who went ahead, then went back to level terms, and are now behind. McNeil gives away the ball cheaply to Gakpo, who plays a terrific pass for Salah to poke it past Pickford.

Hold on, VAR rules out the goal due to offside! It's the most marginal of offside calls against O'Brien, and we are back to level terms in the Merseyside derby.

Ndiaye puts Everton ahead!! This is the first Merseyside goal at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, and it comes from the man who scored the very first goal at this venue. A long ball from the defence finds right-back O'Brien, who floats in a brilliant cross. It misses Beto, but Ndiaye is in the right place at the right time, to take a touch and find the back of the net.

The temperatures are warming up in the Merseyside derby. Van Dijk comes charging into the back of Gueye and concedes a foul, but the Everton players are angry at the lack of a yellow card. Pickford comes rushing out of his goal to complain to the referee, and gets a booking for his efforts.

Another decent chance goes to waste for the home side. A long searcher from the Everton defence finds the run of Beto. The striker opens up his body and tries to find the far corner, but it goes harmless wide.

Drama in the derby!! Moments after Everton were angry about Gravenberch not being booked for a foul in Gueye, the hosts have more cause for anger as Chris Kavanagh wave away Dewsbury-Hall's shouts for a penalty. The former Chelsea player almost found himself at the end of a lofted pass, but goes down under pressure from Jones. VAR clears the incident.

The game almost switches on in an instant. A beautiful ball from Garner in the middle of the box finds Beto, whose downward header brings out a stunning save from Mamardashvili. Liverpool break forward with Isak, but the move breaks down.

It has been a cagey start to the match from Everton, who are happy to hoof the ball upwards to target their target man, Beto. The Toffees win a free-kick in the Liverpool half, but the ball in the box can't find Tarkowski's head.

It's a marvellous atmosphere at the Hill Dickinson Stadium. The players are out on the pitch on this historic ocassion. Referee Chris Kavanagh blows his whistle, and it's Everton who take the kick-off to get today's Merseyside derby underway.
