But Everton got an opportunity to tie the game after this foul… or not foul?
Just saw the penalty awarded to Everton v Liverpool.
It is a fair penAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Please.
The attacker jumping towards the defender to bounce on him and dive. Crazy. pic.twitter.com/nhJ5Xeqtg2

Didn't matter for the Everton fans though…
There's nothing quite like a Wayne Rooney penalty to secure a point at Anfield in the Merseyside derby. pic.twitter.com/wkizXbNAqX

Or Liverpool legend Sammy Lee - now an assistant with the Toffees…

Reds legend Jamie Carragher was highly critical of Jurgen Klopp after the game.
Not a good day for Klopp with his team, penalty opinion & interview! Don't take a chance in the Derby with your team, no doubt EFC were lucky as they never had a chance of note but at 1-0 there's always a chance an LFC defender will do something stupid!! #LIVEVE
— Jamie Carragher (@Carra23) December 10, 2017
But made sure he bailed up DCL afterwards!
I've changed my mind! Just bumped into @CalvertLewin14 even he said he dived!!!!!! pic.twitter.com/xlcTLXViEq

There was a stalemate in the top of the table clash between Juventus and Inter Milan - thanks to Samir Handanovic.
Handanovic was at his brilliant best against the Champions as he won Inter a point in Turin.
His save from Mandzukic's shot speaks volumes of how he has been the key this season, letting just 10 goals from 16 games. pic.twitter.com/7eyzSUw2zv

In Spain, Real Madrid spanked Sevilla 5-0 - all goals came in the first half - and the emergence of maybe the next great Los Blancos winger, 19-year-old Achraf Hakimi.

When you realise when Arsene Wenger became the Arsenal manager Ostersunds hadn't even been formed yet!
