The in-form Dominic Calvert-Lewin earned a point for Everton before Henderson saw his 'winner' ruled out by VAR
Everton twice fought back from a goal down against bitter rivals Liverpool to remain top of the Premier League.
The visitors had missed Sadio Mane in their 7-2 defeat at Aston Villa last time out but he wasted no time in making up for a lost opportunity.
Left-back Andy Robertson won a 50-50 with Seamus Coleman on the right edge of Everton's area and his driven cross was fired home first-time by Mane at the near post in the third minute.
Under-scrutiny England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford was fortunate not to concede a penalty and receive a red card after clattering knee-high into Virgil Van Dijk who was unable to continue.
Van Dijk's presence was sorely missed as Everton equalised in the 20th minute thanks to Michael Keane's header.
Everton had the better of the second half, with Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison both missing good chances, before Liverpool re-took the lead.
Yerry Mina's poor clearance dropped to Mohamed Salah and his first-time volley brought up his 100th Liverpool goal in his 159th match.
But Calvert-Lewin had the final say as he rose highest to head home his seventh of the season before Richarlison was sent off for a late lunge on Liverpool new boy Thiago.
Jordan Henderson thought he had won it in injury-time but VAR adjudged him to have been offside.
Here are our talking points from a frantic derby...
Image: PA) PA)
1. Liverpool suffer more injury misery
The 7-2 defeat by Aston Villa showed how finely poised Liverpool's success is on Jurgen Klopp's regular starting XI being fit. Alisson is still out injured for the Reds, and he will now be joined in the Melwood physio room by Virgil van Dijk.
The Dutchman latest just 10 minutes in the Merseyside derby after he was clattered by Jordan Pickford. The Everton keeper was very lucky to get away with not being shown a red card for the challenge, which left Van Dijk in a heap on the ground.
Van Dijk did his best to play through the pain but was eventually forced to make way, with Joe Gomez replacing the defensive titan.
Van Dijk's absence at the back was capitalised on almost instantly by Everton, who netted an equaliser, but more worrying from a Liverpool perspective, played with more confidence going forward.
Liverpool's defence is built on the notion it is impenetrable with Van Dijk at the back, and his absence - however long - will be a huge miss for the Reds.

2. Pickford in VAR drama
There was yet further VAR contention early on over whether or not Pickford should have been sent off for his dangerous tackle on Van Dijk.
Even though the Liverpool defender was flagged as offside in the build-up to the incident, the rules state that a player can still be sent off for violent conduct in such an instance.
Although VAR was used at the time, it has been confirmed that this was to check on the offside, and not on whether or not Pickford should have been given his marching orders.
If it had been deployed in this manner, there is surely no doubt in anybody's mind that Everton would have been down to ten men, such was the force of the England goalkeeper's challenge.
It is yet another example highlighting that VAR still has issues which desperately need looking at.

3. Salah the man for the big occasion
Mo Salah didn't have the busiest afternoon at Goodison Park and struggled to influence the derby at times.
But such is his confidence at the moment that it was no surprise to see the Egyptian pop up almost from nowhere with the winning goal.
Salah how has 100 for Liverpool and, for those who like stats of this nature, he has reached the milestone faster than the likes of Robbie Fowler, Ian Rush, Michael Owen and Kenny Dalglish.
His 159 games is bettered only by Roger Hunt (144) and Jack Parkinson (153).

4. Pickford still a cause for concern
Everton splashed some serious cash this summer bringing in the likes of James Rodriguez from Real Madrid and Allan from Napoli.
But it seems something of an oversight that Jordan Pickford wasn't replaced.
The Toffees have started this campaign in sensational form, and remain top of the Premier League, despite drawing with Liverpool.
But there is the feeling that points will be dropped this season due to avoidable errors.
Pickford has a mistake in him, there are no two words about it, and despite some good saves against Liverpool - and the fact he couldn't do much about either goal on Saturday - he had something of a game to forget.
His reckless challenge on Van Dijk was irresponsible at best, and portrayed the shot-stopper once more as a man who struggles under pressure.
Pickford was lucky to avoid being sent off for the tackle, and unless he starts showing dramatic signs of improvement, Carlo Ancelotti will be looking to replace him in January.

5. Thiago shows what is to come
Thiago Alcantara showed why Liverpool have splashed the cash on him as made his first start for the club at Goodison Park.
The Spanish midfielder drifted in and out of the game in the early stages, but did look tidy in possession and popped a number of short passes about as he grew into the match.
In the second half his confidence seemed to grow, and he began to set the tempo and spread the play with a wide range of passing.
The 29-year-old simply oozes class, and will only continue to improve as he settles into Jurgen Klopp's side.
Reds fans will be extremely excited by what could be to come in the near future.

Sam has insisted they are single despite being spotted taking a stroll through London in August and having a passionate smooch with furniture designer Francois Rocci.
Sam is not known for being shy about their feelings, and previously said they thought it was important to see same-sex relationships in the public eye.

"Seeing gay relationships is important and refreshing. You don't see it loads," they said in an interview with Radio 1.
Sam spoke out in relation to snaps that emerged of showing them putting on a very amorous PDA with then boyfriend Brandon Flynn.
"We were just waiting outside the shop while my sister got cigarettes. I was just joking.
"I was literally licking his eyeballs. It’s horrendous. I’m going to have to do something crazy to top it," laughed Sam.

"He looks like Ursula sucking the voice out of Ariel. It’s so embarrassing," they said of the kiss.
Sam split from 13 Reasons Why Actor Brandon Flynn in June 2018.
The pair split after nine months with Sam reported as being 'devastated' before they deleted all traces of Brandon from social media.
"This is the most significant relationship Sam's ever had," a source close to the pop star told Page Six, blaming their hectic schedules for tearing them apart.
Sam has been linked to a string of high-profile stars - including former Olympic diver Tom Daley.
After Sam collected the Oscar for James Bond theme tune Writing On The Wall in 2016, they spoke of being the first gay man to win an Academy Award.
Tom's now-husband Dustin Lance Black then took to Twitter to slam the claim and make an explosive accusation about the singer.
"Hey SamSmithWorld, if you have no idea who I am, it may be time to stop texting my fiancé. Here's a start," Dustin fired alongside a video of himself picking up the best Original Screenplay Oscar in 2009 for Milk.
After sparking a frenzy with his tweet - which prompted Tom to briefly take down his Twitter account - Dustin returned to the site to clarify what he meant.
"Dear Internet: @TomDaley1994 and @Samsmithworld are pals. They text. Thus my surprise Sam took me for a closet case! Feel free to laugh," he shared.

Jodie also shared pictures of her mum's flower-festooned casket, which was decorated in Kristina's favourite pink, and of the pallbearers all wearing masks in the matching colour.
"All the boys did so amazing today but Billy did me so proud," she captioned one snap.
"Billy and Colin (our best friend) were asked by dad to carry mum in with my dad and brother and Billy has been so stressed about it. It's the biggest honour you can do for someone - carry them in - I think. And though Billy felt so honoured and privileged, he was so scared of messing up."

She went on: "I am so so so proud of him and I love him so much. He was literally amazing and so strong. Mum loved him so much and I’m so happy he was able to do this for her. He's been my rock throughout all of her illness and now this. I can't put into words how grateful I am for him."
Jodie and Billy cared for her mum at home throughout the pandemic, when Kristina was dying from an aggressive form of cancer.
They desperately tried alternative treatments including cannabis oil and an alkaline diet while waiting for Kristina's hospital treatment to restart, but sadly she slipped away quickly.

The UK 's biggest teachers ' union has backed calls for a 'circuit breaker ' lockdown and has said it would support an extended two week half term in order for the measures to be properly implemented .
The National Education Union believes that taking action now will prevent further disruption down the line when it comes to the education of the UK 's children .
Kevin Courtney , joint general secretary of the NEU , said : `` Heads , teachers and school staff understand the educational impact of this , but we also understand that in exponential epidemics @ @ @ @ @ @ @ action now can avoid more disruption later . ''
ONS figures from earlier this week suggest that the highest rates of infection come from secondary school pupils and young adults .
Mr Courtney added : `` This should be no surprise to either the Prime Minister or the Department for Education .
`` Scientists have consistently told them that secondary students transmit the virus as much as adults , and we have warned them that because we have amongst the biggest class sizes in Europe we have overcrowded classrooms and corridors without effective @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have poor ventilation , leading to airborne transmissions , and in many areas we have also have overcrowded school transport where children are mixing across year-group bubbles .
`` These children live in families and are part of communities , so even if they have few or no symptoms themselves they are still part of spreading the virus to others , including to teachers and other school staff . ''
He said : `` Such a circuit-breaker could allow the Government to get in control of the test , track and trace system @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the system to work better . ''
The two or three week circuit breaker has been proposed and backed by over 674,000 scientific experts .
Independent experts from Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies ( SAGE ) say that the government ’ s three-tier system is ‘ not enough to reverse growth.

The group proposes a 2-3 week lockdown , including the immediate closure of schools , non-essential retail and business , the leisure @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
It also suggests that physical distancing measures should return to a two metre rule , with a ban on household mixing outside of support bubbles .
Following this ‘ circuit breaker ’ , SAGE suggests that there should be a period of continued restrictions to keep the R number below 1 , while allowing schools to reopen .
Professor Christina Pagel of University College London , said : “ We believe a sharp national circuit breaker for 2-3 weeks followed by 3-4 weeks of continuing restrictions is needed to stop the current @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of thousands of new cases and thousands of hospital stays .
“ This will buy us precious time to build a public health and social scaffolding to support easing restrictions and restarting our lives .
We must not waste this time.
” Sir David King , chair of SAGE , added that an ‘ urgent reform ’ of the Test & Trace system is needed , describing it as a ‘ national scandal.
’ The SAGE report states : “ Eight months into the pandemic , it ’ s clear that England ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ isolate and support ( FTTIS ) programme is failing , leading the government to rely on a succession of restrictions on people mixing to control the pandemic .
“ The result is that the UK has some of the greatest excess death rates and economic damage anywhere.
” The experts recognise that any new restrictions will have to be accompanied by a package of financial support for individuals and businesses affected .
They added : “ Government should make isolation financially feasible for all cases and contacts .
This was not provided until @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been provided to properly isolate for 14 days , or £7.14 per hour , substantially below minimum wage and hard to access .
