Conor Bradley wants Liverpool to quickly brush off the disappointment of the Merseyside derby as they set their sights on victory this weekend.

Three points were dramatically denied the Reds at Everton on Wednesday night when James Tarkowski netted a 98th-minute equaliser that made it 2-2.

Arne Slot's men were leading 2-1 until the final seconds through Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah efforts, recovering well after Beto opened the scoring early on.

Bradley and his teammates' focus now turns towards Sunday's top-flight showdown with Wolverhampton Wanderers at Anfield.

Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com following the derby draw, the full-back said: "Obviously it was a tough game, always is tough coming here.

"Bitterly disappointed at the end to lose the three points. We've just got to bounce back now on Sunday and get another three points there.

"We know it will be a difficult game against Wolves, they're a good team. So, hopefully we can put on a good performance, get the win and get back on track."

The point taken from Goodison did see Liverpool extend their lead at the top of the Premier League to seven with 14 fixtures remaining.

"Of course it's a good position but we've just got to keep going and keep working hard every day and keep improving," Bradley continued.

"We've just got to keep picking up the three points wherever we can. We know there's still a lot of games to go and we've just got to keep our heads down and keep going."

Drawing positives from the Everton encounter, Bradley hailed the contribution of Liverpool's goalscorers on the night.

Mac Allister flicked in a Salah cross from the right in the 16th minute, before the provider got on the scoresheet himself with an instinctive finish during the second half.

Bradley said: "I thought Macca was brilliant and I think he's brilliant in every game for us. He's a real role model, especially for us young ones.

"Just the way he treats every game the same and he's always up for the battle, it's something I look up to him for doing.

"I thought Macca was brilliant tonight but I thought a good few of the lads were good tonight. I thought we deserved to get the three points but [we are] disappointed not to get them."

On Salah, he continued: "I think it was the first touch that made the goal – his first touch was unbelievable for the goal.

"That's just Mo – he just scores goals, gets assists. He's a fantastic player and we're so lucky to have him."
