Liverpool moved a point closer to winning the Premier League, even though they did fail to win for just the third time in 30 league matches this season with a 0-0 draw at Everton.

It was the third successive goalless draw in Merseyside derbies at Goodison, and was, in truth, turgid stuff for the most part.

Allan Saint-Maximin 9 out of 10, John Egan 3: Newcastle v Sheffield United player ratings

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp praised goalkeeper Alisson after his late saved ensured Liverpool didn't suffer their second defeat of the season.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin's close-range flick was kept out by the Brazilian before Tom Davies' shot from the loose ball struck the post.

"We should not take him [Alisson] for granted," said Klopp. "Absolutely outstanding. That's what a world-class goalkeeper is - nothing to do for pretty much 90 minutes then he's there."
