Former Liverpool winger Steve McManaman, speaking on TNT Sports: "It is apt really that the last game at Goodison Park is a game like this. Like an old school 80s game.
"There was not a load of quality in the game but it was wild, it had ion, it had fight.
"There were a number of sending offs at the end, people wanted to antagonise each other and fight each other. It was fitting it ended in absolute chaos.
"Abdoulaye Doucoure had 37,000 of his own fans to go and celebrate in front of. To go and antagonise the Liverpool fans was a silly decision. It was only going to end one way.
"Doucoure is an important player and if Everton go on and lose in their next game it will have been proved an even worse decision."

Everton manager David Moyes, speaking to TNT Sports: "Mental probably sums it up. A brilliant finish for us, to finish the last Goodison Merseyside derby and score in the last minute is in a way fitting.
"We would have liked to have won the game but at 2-1 down I was just thinking that we probably weren't going to get back in, it just looked like Liverpool would keep us out.
"We worked hard, kept at it, probably had more attempts in the second half than the first. [Tarkowski] had the quality which was the one that really mattered."
On Tarkowski scoring on his 100th Premier League appearance for Everton: "I think after his game last weekend he'll be pleased he got the goal. He scored a great goal tonight and it will be ed in history."
On how this game compares to others he has managed: "It was right up there and it was great at the end. I think the night was maybe made for something to happen.
"It wasn't the greatest, it wasn't the cleanest game of football you've ever watched, but it was a bit of a throwback, a bit scrappy for both sides. We had to find a way of making the gap not so big tonight and did a good job of it."
On what has changed since he took over as Everton manager: "The fact is, I think the players have responded really well in what they've done.
"We've made more chances. Beto's come in and scored the goal, he's scored for us earlier on as well. That's really helped us, we're suddenly creating a few more chances than we had. All praise to the players."
On Abdoulaye Doucoure's sending off: "I'm disappointed with Doucoure because we need him, we're down on numbers at the moment. We've got to be careful what we do.
"Discipline is never easy sometimes in these games and tonight was a game where quite easily sending offs happen."

Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk, speaking to MOTD: "Very tough. To concede an equaliser that late is always disappointing.
"We saw the celebrations they had in the end so we know how much it meant for them but the fact is it was disappointing for us. We take the point and move onto Wolves now.
"We came back, got to 2-1 but unfortunately we couldn't get it over the line. We had to keep fighting, we kept doing that but in the end it wasn't enough to get it over the line."
On the clash of players at the end: "It was a very big provocation from one certain player. We all saw it and reacted as a team as we were able to do. You know what happens nowadays, it becomes one big tussle. Then it is not me who has to deal with it, it is the referee and today I am not sure he had it fully under control."
On the title fight: "We have put ourselves in a solid position. We all know we have so many difficult games coming up. We need everyone at their best.
"Everyone should be disappointed on the last part of this game but from tomorrow the focus will be on recovery.
"The main thing for us is to completely focus on ourselves, and as fans as well, don't look at what others are doing and writing, just focus on us.
"Every game will be tough until the end of the season, then we will see at the end of the road if it is enough. But we have put ourselves in a good position and we have to keep fighting."

Everton goalscorer James Tarkowski, speaking to TNT Sports: "Early on I got a chance and I panicked a bit.
"Late on I just decided to get in the box, it dropped, I just let it go and see what happens. Amazing to score and what an amazing night.
"I just saw the ball going wide and thought 'last minute, why not">
