Tim Sherwood’s comments about Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with Everton highlight how a late equalizer from Tarkowski kept the Premier League title race alive. Sherwood seems to believe that while Liverpool still has a significant gap to close, the draw means the gap of seven points is not as insurmountable as it could have been if they had lost by a larger margin. He also points out that Liverpool will feel disappointed given they were so close to securing all three points.
Liverpool, having had the chance to increase their lead, now find themselves in a situation where the pressure is still on to keep pace with Manchester City and other title contenders. The psychological impact of a late goal from Everton could also be a factor in Liverpool’s mentality as they move forward.
