Liverpool and Everton ended a dramatic Merseyside derby even and Jurgen Klopp was quick to credit the role of one Blue, after the game.
Speaking with BT Sport, the 55-year-old: “I think we hit the post three times and there were a few unbelievable saves from Pickford – wow, what can you do?
“In this game, easy and free-flowing is not possible. You have to dig deep, that’s what we did. A 0-0 draw sounds strange, but that’s it”.
The Sunderland-born stopper was awarded man of the match after the match and it was hard to ignore his role in securing a clean sheet, for his team.

Both sides will leave Goodison Park wondering how they haven’t scored but perhaps that explains why we both left with a single point.
