Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp said that the draw was the most mature performance during his three seasons at Anfield and that Liverpool did not head into the match looking to engage in a wild derby.
"It was a good performance, not brilliant,"Klopp told his postmatch news conference. "It was maybe the most mature we played since I'm here. Come here, play football, get a result, don't get involved in any fights.
"Everybody spoke about in the week how Everton didn't get a win [in a derby] I don't know how long. We then deliver a game like this and it's a big compliment for my team. But it will not always be like this, I'm pretty sure.
"I have to take the result, it's no problem. I think it's a fair result. We were better over most of the game and Everton in the last few minutes had a few very exciting moments in our box, which is never a good sign.
"Until then we controlled the game, we played the game we wanted to play.
"We were not here to play a wild derby today. That wouldn't have made sense. It was quite difficult for Everton to get the game they wanted challenges, stuff like that.
"I really thought we did well in specific moments - passing, runs with a team that changed five positions.
"Maybe in the last 10 or 15 minutes the game changed. I'm not sure we were too lucky because they didn't hit the target. Still, I would say a deserved result."Explore more on these topics:
