But things got even more desperate for Arne Slot’s options in net when he sustained an injury during Everton’s equaliser.
Goalscorer Beto and Andy Robertson both slid to try and reach a teasing ball across the box, with both men clattering into the goalkeeper.
But while the Everton forward wheeled away to celebrate, Mamardashvili stayed down in evident pain.
He was quickly attended to by a number of staff, with the injury clearly of a serious nature.
It was eventually deemed that a stretcher would be needed to remove the keeper from the field.
That meant that the responsibilities between the sticks for the rest of the derby fell to third-choice Freddie Woodman.
