Liverpool have dropped two more points at Everton in the Merseyside derby.
The Reds of team manager Jürgen Klopp did not get past a 0-0 draw with the Toffees.
Mohamed Salah, who had fired a well-placed shot in added time, scored the final point – but Everton keeper Jordan Pickford deflected the ball to the post.
Most recently, the team from Anfield Road celebrated two victories, but overall the start of the season is disappointing.
After six games, the Klopp team is only nine points.
Last year's champions Manchester City could extend their lead over Liverpool to seven points with a win this matchday.
Everton are still waiting for their first win after the sixth game and have drawn for the fourth time in a row.
Everton's Tom Davis (32nd minute) hit the post, Liverpool's Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz (43rd minute each) also failed in quick succession on the goal frame.
The Klopp team was optically superior, but the hosts acted more dangerously on the offensive in the first half.
Only in the final phase of the first 45 minutes could Liverpool set accents on the offensive.
Substitute ex-Hoffenheimer Roberto Firmino (64th) also failed twice within a few moments at the strong Everton keeper Jordan Pickford.
Liverpool were lucky that the video referee intervened when the home side supposedly made it 1-0 through Conor Coady (69th), the goal was disallowed due to offside.
