'A point is one we deserve': Jurgen Klopp admits Liverpool were 'not smart enough' in Merseyside derby stalemate against Everton

Liverpool inched closer to the Premier League title on Sunday night but only after they were given an almighty scare in the Merseyside derby.

Jurgen Klopp's side can still become champions on Wednesday by beating Crystal Palace following a dour 0-0 draw with Everton - but it will need Burnley to beat Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Monday night for that to happen.

They would have been waiting even longer, however, had it not for a superb 79th minute save by Alisson Becker to deny Dominic Calvert-Lewin; Everton then saw Tom Davies hit the post from a follow up when it seemed they were about to celebrate a first derby win since October 2010.
