The Premier League have confirmed that four red cards were shown by Michael Oliver after the full-time whistle as the last-ever Merseyside derby to be held at Goodison Park finished in utter chaos.

Everton had five minutes to enjoy their advantage. Then Alexis Mac Allister glanced in a header from Salah’s cross. Fault could be found with Vitalii Mykolenko, who failed to cut out the pass to Salah, and Tarkowski, left flat-footed in the penalty area; redemption was to follow for him.
