Liverpool edged a point closer to claiming a first Premier League title despite being held to a frustrating 0-0 draw at neighbours Everton.

Roberto Firmino and Joel Matip both wasted good openings in a sluggish first half, while the visitors upped the ante after the break without truly testing Jordan Pickford.
