Wrongly Ruled Out

Liverpool striker Luis Suarez was in the thick of the action as his shot was turned into his own net by Leighton Baines after 14 minutes.

The Uruguayan celebrated with a theatrical dive in front of Everton boss David Moyes, who had been critical of Suarez's habit of going to ground in the build-up to the game.

Suarez headed Liverpool's second after 20 minutes but Everton recovered before halftime with goals by Leon Osman and Steven Naismith earning them a deserved draw.

However, Liverpool's South American had a very late effort wrongly ruled out for offside.

Moyes had no sympathy for Suarez and was angry that he trod on the leg of Everton defender Sylvain Distin in the second half. He liked the joke dive, though.

"I thought it was great, I would probably have done the same, but he is going to have to dive in front of a lot of managers now," Moyes said. "He was a very lucky man to stay on the park because of his tackle."

Everton fell out of the top four after Tottenham Hotspur beat struggling Southampton 2-1 away with Gareth Bale on the scoresheet against his old club. Newcastle United beat West Bromwich Albion 2-1.
