David Ngog gave the home side the lead a minute after the break, thumping just inside the near post after being put through in the inside right channel.
But Pepe Reina inadvertently bundled the ball into his own net in stoppage-time after Marouane Chamakh had hit a post
Both sides had a player sent off on their debuts. The Merseysiders lost Joe Cole just before half-time for a lunge on Laurent Koscielny who also saw red late on for a second bookable offence.
An in-depth match report will be available shortly.
