Liverpool fans reacted with a mixture of anger, frustrations, admiration and delight after Saturday’s thrilling 3-3 draw with Everton at Goodison Park.
Fans took to Twitter to vent their frustrations that Kevin Mirallas should have been sent off for a high tackle on Luis Suarez, which left the Uruguayan with visible cuts around his knee.
This morning’s Sunday Mirror back page went with a close-up photo of the consequences of Mirallas’ horror challenge:

Nevertheless, despite the lack of red card, many fans believed a draw was the right result and revelled in the excitement that the 221st Merseyside Derby brought us.
There was also a heap of praise for Jon Flanagan, who yet again outperformed some of his Premier League colleagues yesterday:

@thisisanfield 3 game changing moments in the 3-3 1) The non red card 2) Allen's miss 3) Bringing Moses when Sturridge would've been better

An intense derby today from the start- dramatic, rough, thrilling, yet agonizing for both sides.

@thisisanfield Allen to make it 3 we would have strolled it. Just those moments can make a season. They all add up in the end.

@Footy_MarcoL The defense was poor in my opinion, Sakho was crying out for this game vs Lukaku as opposed to Skrtel
