However, it was Everton who had the better of  proceedings, and they will have been left wondering how they did not take the  lead when Alisson produced heroics to preserve parity.   Theo Walcott headed Bernard's superb far-post cross back to Andre Gomes,  whose point-blank header was magnificently kept out by Alisson's flying save.  Gylfi Sigurdsson attempted to bundle home the rebound in the resulting goalmouth  scramble but Joe Gomez cleared off the line in the nick of time.   Pickford denied Xherdan Shaqiri with his leg at the other end, but the  Toffees spurned another glorious opportunity when Walcott lost control of the  ball after rounding Alisson.Liverpool were much improved after half-time and  Salah curled wide before Mane again missed the target following good work from  Roberto Firmino.   Mane's wayward shooting performance continued as he failed to trouble  Pickford from the edge of the area, and the Reds' hopes of triumph looked to  have gone when Origi clattered against the crossbar from two yards out and  Liverpool saw appeals for handball against Sigurdsson waved away by referee  Chris Kavanagh from the follow-up.   Yet that proved only a prelude to a bizarre ending as Origi, brought on in  the 84th minute playing in his first Premier League game since the beginning of  last season, took his second chance to write his name into Merseyside derby  folklore, sparking scenes of wild celebration typified by Klopp's sprint to  rejoice with Alisson.</blockquote>
