Liverpool goalkeeper Freddie Woodman was thrown into the Merseyside derby at Everton after an injury to Giorgi Mamardashvili left the Reds down to their third-choice goalie.
With Alisson Becker already unavailable due to injury , Mamardashvili was stretchered off following a painful collision when Beto scored the equaliser for Everton.
Woodman, 29, joined Liverpool last summer on a free transfer from Preston North End. It was his first appearance for Liverpool in the Premier League, and only his second since making his Liverpool debut in the 3-0 Carabao Cup defeat to Crystal Palace earlier this season.
A former England youth international, Woodman started his career with Newcastle United but made just nine appearances for the club, with loan spells at Hartlepool, Crawley, Kilmarnock, Aberdeen, Swansea and Bournemouth .
He joined Preston in 2022 and made 138 appearances for the club before joining Liverpool at the end of his contract last season. His father, Andy Woodman, is a former professional goalkeeper and was a coach at Arsenal , among other clubs.
Woodman is also the godson of former England manager Gareth Southgate , who former a close bond with Woodman's father when they played together at Crystal Palace.
Earlier this season, Woodman explained why he made the decision to join Liverpool, even when first-team opportunities appeared limited. "I've played consistently over the last five or six years, albeit in the Championship and a few Premier League games," he told the club's website.
"I wanted to keep playing and I'm only 28, but there was a conversation in the summer where Liverpool came up. I had other options but my dad said to me, 'How do you turn down Liverpool? You just can't do it.'
"I'm very happy with my decision because l get to work with the best players in the world and I get to work up close with Ali and Giorgi, who are top goalkeepers who I think are only going to make me better and help my development."
