Jurgen Klopp lauds Jordan Pickford for holding Liverpool off in a goalless draw

Jurgen Klopp offers Jordan Pickford plaudits for his performance against Liverpool.

"Wow, what can you do? It was a great derby, super intense, with a lot of really spectacular saves. We hit the post three times and Pickford made so many saves. I don't know how many derbies I've been in, but it's quite a few and they're always difficult here."

Both Jordan Pickford and Alisson Becker were all that stood between the goal and their opponents' attackers as they managed to prevent either team from taking lead at multiple junctures during the game.

However, the flashpoint of the game was the only instance in which the net bustled in the second half when Everton found themselves in the lead, albeit briefly, after Conor Coady found the back of the net, returning a close-range shot from Neal Maupay's initial attempt.

However, the goal was correctly disallowed after a VAR check adjudged it offside, naturally sparking outrage from fans in the stadium.

So much so that a fan invaded the pitch and charged at the referee in chargeAnthony Taylor to confront him regarding the decision but he was ushered off the pitch by security personnel shortly thereafter.

In yet another shocking incident, a beer bottle was hurled at the field, narrowly missing the Liverpool frontman, Jurgen Klopp. These incidents marred what was otherwise an extremely memorable Merseyside Derby.
