Speaking after the game, Klopp said: 'It was really tough, both teams showed that they understood it was a derby, even without the crowds. All players really lived the game, I liked our defending. We did not create enough chances for the possession that we had, nothing good where we had a free shot.

'They had the biggest chance - that is how it is. I have to admit that. Everton defended really well. They took care of Sadio Mane and Trent Alexander-Arnold and we were not smart enough a lot of the time. For this reason (to get a draw) we can be satisfied."
