Liverpool's final trip to Goodison Park ended in disappointment as a last-gasp goal ensured Everton nicked a 2-2 draw.
The visitors had led thanks to strikes from Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah but were pegged back in the 98th minute of injury time.
And Reds reporter David Lynch believes that, on balance, that is probably as much as they merited from the performance.
Here, he reflects on Arne Slot's side's struggles with the Toffees' physicality, and their standout performers.
Referee Michael Oliver is also scrutinised after finding himself at the centre of a number of controversial moments.

Eddie Gibbs steps in for Dave Davis on today's episode of Media Matters to unpack Liverpool’s shocking FA Cup defeat to Plymouth with journalist David Lynch.
Liverpool were dumped out of the FA Cup as they suffered a 1-0 defeat to Championship strugglers Plymouth Argyle.

Those aspects and a poor performance from Diogo Jota are highlighted in this match review.
