'Only team' - Jake Paul makes Everton claim after Liverpool draw

Jake Paul has given his reaction to Liverpool's 0-0 Merseyside derby draw at Everton.

The Reds fought hard for a point at Goodison Park in a frantic affair, with chances aplenty but the final score somehow goalless. Both sides were good value for a point a piece in a memorable clash that saw the woodwork struck multiple times, both goalkeepers pull off outstanding saves, a disallowed goal and a potential straight red not given.

Energy on the pitch was matched, if not bettered, by the fervent support from both ends off it. The blue and red halves of Merseyside came together in a spine-tingling ninth-minute show of remembrance for Olivia Pratt-Korbel - the nine year old girl killed in her own home by a gunman - and the passion from both ends made the derby one of the most hotly contested in recent memory.

And after the game, social media personality and professional boxer Paul tweeted: "Only team I don’t mind not beating is Everton. Let’s get it in Naples."

The win keeps both side's unbeaten runs going, with Liverpool adding to their previous two wins against Bournemouth and Newcastle with another point. They are now four points off Manchester City, who have a game in hand against Aston Villa this evening.

Jurgen Klopp's side travel to Naples on Wednesday as they face Napoli in the first week of the Champions League.
