Everton 0-0 Liverpool: 5 major talking points from the Merseyside derby 

#2 Battle of the goalkeepers as both Karius and Pickford shine

Both Karius and Pickford were in top form

The Merseyside derby has produced some great goals over the years, but the latest between Everton and Liverpool failed to produce any due to the brilliance of the goalkeepers between the posts for both sides.

Everton were the first team to really threaten but Loris Karius was there to make sure that Yannick Bolasie’s bending shot did not end up at the back of the net.

The German goalie had to be at full stretch to save a wonderful curler from the Everton winger, opening himself up and tipping the ball just wide of the goal.

His opposite number Jordan Pickford was also at his best all through the game; first saving a close shot from Dominic Solanke, before producing another magnificent save to deny James Milner’s goal-bound curler.

It was a game that lacked clear-cut chances, but both goalkeepers proved to be up to task anytime there was a real threat to their goal.
