As final-third wastefulness quashed any hope of three points, Everton could at least take solace from this latest battling display after gaining another result from a losing position in Wednesday's 1-1 draw at Stoke.
After a lethargic opening handed the initiative to the home side and left the visitors trailing on the score line and chasing the game, Ronald Koeman's side gradually worked their way into the contest and could have snatched the win with a late Tom Davies header.
Positives
Making his first start for the club after two substitute appearances, Morgan Schneiderlin seamlessly assumed his place at the base of the Everton midfield, calmly recycling possession with minimal fuss and maximum accuracy.
