Alexis Mac Allister sends three-word title race message after Liverpool vs Everton drama
Liverpool were denied the chance to move nine points clear at the top of the Premier League following a 2-2 draw with Everton on Wednesday
Alexis Mac Allister has sent a pointed message to the Liverpool fans following Wednesday’s chaotic 2-2 draw against Everton. Arne Slot’s men were held at Goodison Park after James Tarkowski’s 98th minute strike earned the home side a precious point.
In the last-ever Merseyside derby at Goodison, Everton started the stronger of the two and went ahead in the 11th minute. A smart free-kick from Jarrad Brantwaite saw Beto run clean through on goal and the Portuguese kept his composure to steer past Alisson.
However, Everton’s lead was diminished within five minutes. Liverpool responded and equalised as Mohamed Salah’s in-swinging cross was nodded into the corner by Mac Allister.
From this point, it felt as though the pendulum could swing either way. Everton kept probing up one end, while Liverpool looked a real threat at the other, with Luis Diaz going close just before half-time.
But it was Slot’s Reds who took the lead in the 73th minute. Salah was the first to react at the back post following pinball in the box to fire the ball past a despairing Jordan Pickford.
