In a tense Merseyside derby, Liverpool secured a narrow 1-0 victory against Everton, with Diogo Jota scoring the only goal. The match's controversy stemmed from a high tackle by Everton's James Tarkowski on Alexis Mac Allister that went unpunished by the referee, a situation Liverpool's coach Arne Slot was not surprised by. Slot commended Jota for his performance after a goal drought, while Everton's manager David Moyes expressed frustration about a potential offside in the buildup to the goal, criticizing the officiating decisions made during the match.
"I don't want to comment about the situation because so many people already commented on that. Even people who don't like Liverpool a lot were so clear and obvious about what the decision should have been. Was I surprised? No."
"Very pleased [with him], he had two of those moments in the second half as well. One of them was blocked but then he found just a bit of space and he scored the goal which was nice for him and nice for us."
"I think the player behind Tarkowski interferes with them. Clearly it, it's a clear offside. I think it's a very easy decision to give. I can't understand any reason why that wouldn't have been given offside. None at all."
