David Moyes has said Everton’s final Merseyside derby with Liverpool at Goodison Park ranks high on his list of moments in charge of the club.
James Tarkowski scored a stunning volley in stoppage time to earn a 2-2 draw with the league leaders and extend the Toffees unbeaten run in the Premier League to four matches.

"I think it ranks really high [in terms of my moments at Goodison Park] because of the meaning – what it meant," Moyes told the club’s official website.
"I think for us to come from behind and get a draw out of the game at that time was a big result for us. The stadium was fantastic. I can remember nights through my career here earlier on where it's been a great place to play – Fiorentina and nights like that.
"Some of the games here have been incredible but tonight will be right up there with that. I think the supporters did the stadium proud tonight and, in a lot of ways, the team did the supporters proud as well.”
'Supporters did the stadium proud tonight'
The Everton manager, who has now overseen 13 derbies in his two spells in charge having returned to the club in January, praised the supporters who witnessed a Goodison Park derby for the final time before their summer move to their new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.
“They never gave up, stuck at it. We lacked a bit of quality at times but we tried to find a way of getting a result out of the game and we got something from it,” Moyes said.
“This has never been an easy ground for anyone to come and play at. Maybe there’s been a bit where the crowd and the players haven’t quite been on the same page, partly because of the tough times they’ve had. I think now there’s beginning to be a better connection with the players and supporters again.
“The crowd tonight was magnificent.
"I think the supporters did the stadium proud tonight, and in a lot of ways, the team did the supporters proud as well."
