Liverpool lose grip in title race after goalless draw in Merseyside derby against Everton

Re-live the action from Goodison Park

Premier League match preview: Everton v Liverpool

Liverpool blinked first in the title race as they failed to regain top spot from Manchester City after being held to a goalless draw in the 233rd Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.

A rare off day for Mohamed Salah, who wasted the visitors' best two chances, coincided with an Everton performance of effort and energy.

And, while the Toffees' wait for a win in his fixture was stretched to 17 matches, Blues fans took great delight in putting a significant dent in their rivals' hopes of ending a 29-year wait for a title.

Jurgen Klopp's side now trail City by a point with nine matches remaining. Re-live the action below:

Full Time: Everton 0-0 Liverpool

Could that be a significant result in the title race? 

Well, what it definitely does mean is that Liverpool have won only two of their last six fixtures and have slipped a point behind Manchester City after their win at Bournemouth yesterday.

Jurgen Klopp remains undefeated, having managed the Reds in eight Merseyside derbies, but he will no doubt rue the chances squandered by Mo Salah in each half.

Everton had a couple of half chances but they emerge with a point, which they would feel they deserved at Anfield earlier in the season.
