In a dramatic Merseyside derby, Liverpool drew 2-2 with Everton amid significant referee controversy. The match featured a controversial free-kick that led to Everton's early goal and another equalizer from Tarkowski in stoppage time, which was scrutinized by VAR. Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk criticized referee Michael Oliver for his control of the match, which saw multiple red cards. Tempers flared as players clashed in response to provocative celebrations, exemplifying the match's highly charged atmosphere at Goodison Park, marking the end of an era with this derby.
I didn't think the referee had the game under control. Both teams had to deal with it. This was their cup final.
I think Abdoulaye Doucoure wanted to provoke our fans. I think that is what I saw and Curtis Jones didn't think it was the right thing to do.
