Liverpool were hardly at their best, but the Reds picked up all three points in one of the trickiest fixtures standing between them and the Premier League title, beating Everton 1-0 at Anfield.

The hosts were far from their fluid and dazzling best against Everton but got the job done as Diogo Jota scored his first goal in a two and a half months to break the deadlock and extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to 12 points over Arsenal.

James Tarkowski 's 98th-minute equaliser ensured honours ended even at 2-2 and maintained the Everton 's unbeaten Premier League run that now stands at nine matches. It is a run that has effectively ensured their survival ahead of the club's big move to its new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.
