Liverpool went ahead in the 41st minute after James Milner's corner saw Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard stuck to his line and Danny Ings left unmarked to head home from four yards.
Liverpool characteristically let its lead disappear when Emre Can blasted Gerard Deulofeu's cross at teammate Martin Skrtel and Romelu Lukaku reacted quickest to fire home in first-half stoppage time.
