The final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park ended in a thrilling 2-2 draw between Everton and Liverpool.
James Tarkowski popped up with a stunning late equaliser for the hosts to spark wild scenes both in the stands and on the pitch, as Abdoulaye Doucoure and Curtis Jones were sent off immediately after for brawling.
Doucoure celebrated in front of the Liverpool fans, sparking Jones into going after the Frenchman, and they both picked up second bookings.
Reds boss Arne Slot was also dismissed for arguing with Michael Oliver after a topsy-turvy encounter.
Beto opened the scoring for the Toffees after a clever free-kick routine, but Alexis Mac Allister soon equalised with an excellent header.
Doucoure then missed a sitter before Jarrad Branthwaite had a goal ruled out for offside.
Down the other end, it looked as if Mohamed Salah had won it for the Reds with a right-footed finish, but it was Tarkowski who had the final say.

- Timed at 97:08, James Tarkowski’s equaliser for Everton was the latest goal scored on record (from 2006-07) in a Premier League Merseyside derby. It was also Liverpool's second-latest conceded on record against any side in the competition, after Robin van Persie’s goal for Arsenal in April 2011 (97:10).
- This was the 120th and final Merseyside derby between Everton and Liverpool at Goodison Park in all competitions. Both sides have won exactly 41 each of those fixtures (D38).
- Everton manager David Moyes has won just four of his 38 Premier League games against Liverpool (D10 L24), a win rate of just 10.5% - his lowest against any opponent in the competition.
- Only Steven Gerrard (9) has scored more Premier League goals in Merseyside derbies than Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah (8). Meanwhile, tonight was the 40th time the Egyptian both scored and assisted in the same Premier League match overall.
Slot not to be seen
So, we won't be hearing from Arne Slot this evening because he was sent off.
The Dutchman's red card at the end of the game for confronting Michael Oliver means that he is exempt from media duties.
Slot was dismissed after the full-time whistle when he shook the referee's hand only to say something that led Oliver producing a red card.
We'll have to find out what he thought at his next press conference.

'This is their cup final'
Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk has also been speaking to the media after playing in the final Goodison Park Merseyside derby.
The Dutchman was very clear in his thoughts and also had a little dig at the Toffees.
He said: "It was incredibly intense with a lot of battles, and it is very disappointing to concede over extra time, but it is what it is.
"It's not easy to accept it, but we take it and we go on.
"The referee had a big part in the game today, but in the end, it is just disappointing to concede.
"They are very direct and fight, and we all know this is their cup final, and they'll try and do everything they can to win."
On the red cards, he said: "[Abdoulaye] Doucoure wanted to provoke our fans, and Curtis [Jones] didn't think that was the right thing to do.
"Then when there is a tussle, you know what is going to happen.
"But the referee didn't have the game under control."
'Mental'
Everton manager David Moyes has been reflecting on the final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park, which ended in a 2-2 draw between Everton and Liverpool.
James Tarkowski was the hero with a late equaliser in stoppage time to grab a draw for the Toffees.
And Moyes was delighted with his team.
Speaking to TNT Sports, he said: "Mental.
"It was a brilliant finish for us. To score in the last minute was fitting, and at 2-1 down, I didn't think we'd get back in this, but we worked hard and kept at it.
"Tarky [Tarkowski] scored a great goal tonight, and it will be remembered in history by everybody.
"It was honestly great at the end, and the night was made for something to happen. It was a throwback and a bit scrappy, and it was important we made it that way."

65' - We now have Liverpool appeals for a penalty for a foul on Dominik Szoboszlai.

Everton 1-1 Liverpool - Chance
53' - Massive opportunity!
Jesper Lindstrom does well on the right to slide a pass into Idrissa Gana Gueye.

It's an excellent ball in for Abdoulaye Doucoure, who is totally unmarked.
But heads wide from eight yards out.
Stuart Pearce wasn't impressed with the effort.
Speaking on 90mins, he said: "In a game of this magnitude, you don't get better opportunities than that."

Garner is absolutely fine.

The atmosphere has been great, and the match has been all blood and thunder.
Beto opened the scoring from a clever set-piece routine before Alexis Mac Allister equalised soon after with a sublime header from a Mohamed Salah cross.
From that point, there weren't many chances, but there were a few flashpoints.

But for a final derby at Goodison, it has been exactly what would you want.

The right-back is booked for the challenge before he is on the receiving end of what looks to be a late tackle from Abdoulaye Doucoure.
However, on the replay, you can see that it is more the Liverpool man booting the Frenchman than anything else.
But Michael Oliver decides that is worthy of a booking.
Everton 1-1 Liverpool
45' - Well, you could argue that Idrissa Gana Gueye is a lucky boy.
Cody Gakpo rolls the midfielder, and the former Aston Villa man grabs onto the Dutchman's shirt.
He quickly lets go, and Michael Oliver plays advantage, which comes to nothing.
