That it became an extremely dramatic finish between Everton and Liverpool is one thing. But the Merseyside derby between Everton and Liverpool was a historic one already before kickoff.
It wasn't just the 100th derby between the teams at the classic Goodison Park, but also the last. Next season, Everton will leave the classic arena after 133 years and move into their prestigious new build, which will be ready when the season kicks off.
But it looked for a long time like it would be a gloomy end to the Goodison Park era for the home fans.
When Mohamed Salah scored his 23rd league goal of the season in the 73rd minute and made it 2-1, there were heavy heads in the home team.
But he who laughs last, laughs best, said coach David Moyes and his Everton.
In the very last minute of the match, center-back James Tarkowski stepped up and slammed in the 2-2 goal with a powerful volley, and the wild jubilation on the classic arena knew no bounds. After a brief VAR check, the home team could finally confirm that they had snatched a point against their worst rival, in the most dramatic way possible.
After the match, emotions overflowed, and a big player brawl broke out. It resulted in two red cards, one for Everton's Abdoulaye Doucouré and one for Liverpool's Curtis Jones.
Liverpool leads the league with seven points after 24 rounds, and Everton passes West Ham in the table up to 15th place.
