Fans around Merseyside are probably only just recovering from a sensational derby between Everton and Liverpool.

Everton’s safety in the Premier League looks all but secured after an extraordinary 2-2 draw against Liverpool.

Beto and James Tarkowski scored the goals that sent Evertonians berzerk, as Beto gave plaudits to Jarrad Branthwaite after the spectacle.

It will be difficult to top a better send-off for Goodison Park with the remarkable noise that went around the ground after Tarkowski’s rocket.

Dwight McNeil who’s out with a knee injury sent a brilliant message to Tarkowski from home.

Dwight McNeil’s hilarious nickname for James Tarkowski after Everton goal

Tarkowski has probably had a lot of nicknames in his time, some unpleasant, likely from the Liverpool game last night.

But after watching the brilliant performance from the comfort of his own home, McNeil posted an Instagram story with a fantastic nickname for the Everton defender.

The Toffees midfielder responded to Everton’s full-time post with Tarkowski celebrating calling him: ‘Paintbrush’ (with a Paintbrush emoji).

It’s probably a nickname you haven’t heard before and McNeil might face a few questions as to what it actually means.

McNeil’s return will give Everton an extra boost after Liverpool draw

Many Everton fans will see the point against Liverpool as three points gained, as the Toffees emerged as the real winners.

Things will only get better for David Moyes when the 25-year-old returns from injury, as McNeil could be back soon for Everton.

Despite Everton improving in scoring goals, they still missed a handful of chances against Liverpool, as Abdoulaye Doucoure missed two huge opportunities.

McNeil returning could just give the Toffees squad the extra kick they need in front of goal, as the midfielder has racked up impressive numbers in the short amount of game time he’s had this season.

Hopefully, it shouldn’t be too long until we see McNeil return, as Everton can reach another level with the midfielder after their blossoming form.
