"We couldn't get the last goal and it was frustrating in the second half, he told TNT Sports. They were trying to slow the game down at times. I've never seen a player in my whole life get booked for taking a quick free-kick. I don't know where that rule has come in. Even the stoppage-time, three minutes and one minute I've never seen that in the Premier League in the last two or three years."
"There were frustrations with the referee. Sometimes you want to let the game go, I completely get that, but you can't not give us something and then two seconds later one of their defenders goes down after getting touched in the back and he gives it. You come to these stadiums and the crowd are on them, I feel that they feel they have to give it. Kiernan [Dewsbury-Hall] is on four yellows now and he got one for taking a quick free-kick."
Ryan Gravenberch and Hugo Ekitike scored to give Liverpool a two-goal advantage before Idrissa Gueye pulled one back for Everton. Everton improved markedly after half-time and applied heavy pressure late but failed to find an equaliser. Jack Grealish, repeatedly fouled, was booked after full-time for protesting to referee Darren England. David Moyes questioned the brief three minutes of added time and frequent stoppages for quick free-kicks. Everton complained that quick free-kicks were penalised and that some stoppage-time decisions favored Liverpool. Arne Slot praised Liverpool's resilience as they secured a fifth straight Premier League win.
