The scorer of the equalizing goal in the last Merseyside derby at Goodison Park, James Tarkowski, explained how he decided to strike the ball with all his might in the final minute.

I saw the ball flying in the air and thought, "Why not give it a try?"

It managed to eventually come down to me, and I kicked it with my shoulder," Tarkowski stated after the match.

Everton and Liverpool played to a high-scoring draw of 2-2.
