Liverpool secured their position at the top of the Premier League with a narrow victory over Everton, featuring Diogo Jota's contentious winning goal. Everton manager David Moyes argued that the goal should have been disallowed due to offside interference from Luis Diaz. However, under current regulations, Diaz's actions did not qualify as interfering with play. Liverpool's coach Arne Slot expressed his disdain for the rule, saying it hampers attacking teams and praising the decision's execution this match, despite his personal grievances about the offside framework. Moyes acknowledged his team's effort despite their complaint about the disallowed goal.
Do I like the rule? No, I don't like the rule. It's a rule that is not helping the team that wants to attack.
Liverpool were the better team, no complaints with that. We had some opportunities and we did a great job, we were resilient.
It is disappointing to lose to a goal that is clearly offside. It is quite an easy one to give.
Tarkowski was lucky to avoid an 11th-minute red card for a dangerous challenge on Alexis Mac Allister.
