Pickford was unhappy that Robertson continued to dribble with the ball after play was brought back.

The England keeper bumped into Robertson, causing a tense exchange between the two.

Conor Coady then backed up his international and club team-mate, even grabbing Robertson by the neck.

It caused players from both teams to come together, including Liverpool sub Virgil van Dijk.

Everton’s Amadou Onana and Konstantinos Tsimikas were also seen in a huge row off the field.

Meanwhile Pickford continued to clash with Robertson with James Milner tasked with cooling them down.

Both players were booked for their roles in what started the mass brawl.

Liverpool got the last laugh as they secured local bragging rights and all three points.

Goals from Mo Salah and Cody Gakpo saw the points stay at Anfield.
