Liverpool, who play Southampton on Monday, are still in first due to a superior goal difference.
Both keepers were called into action in the opening 15 minutes with Emi Martinez parrying away a shot by Martial and David de Gea doing well to keep out a John McGinn volley.
Traore levelled the score shortly after the restart, firing home from close range after Jack Grealish picked him out with a low cross into the area.
