Everton vs Liverpool: Player ratings

Tim Howard: 6

Made a couple of impressive saves but his distribution was anything but assured.

Tyias Browning: 6

A composed performance from the youngster. A reliable deputy to Coleman, but could soon challenge for a starting spot.

Phil Jagielka: 7

The veteran produced a number of superb challenges at key moments. Remains an excellent reader of the game, even if he lacks pace.

Ramiro Funes Mori: 6

Performed well for a player who has not had the luxury of much Premier League football. Worked well in tandem with Jagielka.

Brendan Galloway: 6

Technically sound and methodical in his approach; the teenager looks to be a real prospect.

James McCarthy: 6

Calm and composed presence in the centre of the park. Did his defensive work dutifully but also pressed forward when chances arose.

Gareth Barry: 6

His crippling lack of pace would suggest a game such as this would pass him by, but his ability to read the game ensured he was not exposed.

Gerard Deulofeu: 5

Struggled to make any kind of impact on the game. Very quiet but did produce the cross that led to Lukaku's equaliser.

Ross Barkley: 7

Lost Ings for Liverpool's first goal, but played a key role in Everton's attack. His direct runs caused Liverpool plenty of problems, as did his delivery form wide areas.

Steven Naismith: 5

Could not provide the cutting edge that he did against Chelsea, but ran and ran for the team.

Romelu Lukaku: 7

Provided a much needed out ball up top and took his goal extremely well. Dominated in the air and linked up play with those around him.

Aaron Lennon: 6

Provided a spark from the bench in the latter stages. Could be a useful option for Martinez.

Simon Mignolet: 6

The Belgian produced two superb saves in the first half but, ultimately, was let down by those in front of him.

Emre Can: 5

The hot headed German got involved with Barkley unnecessarily and still does not look at home as part of a back three. At fault for Everton's goal.

Martin Skrtel: 5

Relished the physical battle with Lukaku but did not have the appearance of a man in control. Composure can give way to panic.

Mamadou Sakho: 5

Struggled when put under pressure by Everton. The Frenchman is far from composed in possession but needs to be within a back three.

Nathaniel Clyne: 6

The full back pressed forward regularly but his final ball into the penalty area was below par.

James Milner: 6

The engine room of Liverpool's midfield. Milner was all over the park and provided the assist for the opening goal. Reliable if not remarkable.

Lucas Leiva: 5

Fortunate not to receive a second yellow card in the closing stages before he was given the hook. Did not make his presence felt.

Alberto Moreno: 4

Failed to press Deulofeu for Everton's equaliser. The Spaniard's decision making is poor and he is simply not suited to the system that Liverpool played.

Philippe Coutinho: 6

Did not sparkle like the world knows he can, but could not be accused of a lack of effort. Liverpool need him to step up on such occasions given his importance to the side.

Danny Ings: 7

The Englishman took his goal extremely well, which capped off his impressive individual week. Pressed Everton's back four constantly.

Daniel Sturridge: 6

Showed plenty of endeavour, but rarely had a clear sight of goal. Starved of possession and struggled to grab a foothold in the game.
