Moyes’ thousand-yard stare speaks volumes about Van Dijk’s winner | EUROtoday

David Moyes was livid that Everton had been denied a penalty through the last-gasp defeat within the Merseyside derby.

There was an incident late within the first half when Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was despatched sprawling by Curtis Jones, the Liverpool midfielder who was taking part in as a makeshift right-back. Neither referee Chris Kavanagh nor VAR Paul Howard felt an infringement had been made.

Moyes, although, noticed issues in another way. He was enraged when the choice wasn’t given in regular time, remonstrating with fourth official Andrew Madley, and his feelings had been exacerbated given the way in which wherein Everton misplaced.

“I do [think it was a penalty]yeah,” mentioned Moyes. “Why would he go down if he’s not? You might say it could go down as a soft contact or whatever but, well, if he touches him at all, why would he not [take the chance to shoot]he’s in on goal to shoot and finish, why would he not take the opportunity to do that?”

It was an enormously irritating day for the Scot, who noticed Jarrad Branthwaite go down with a severe hamstring problem. He left the stadium along with his proper leg in a brace.

“I’m worried,” he added. “It doesn’t look good.”

Arne Slot, against this, was vastly relieved about three factors that allow Liverpool to take a agency grip of a spot within the prime 5 however there was, inevitably, a sting within the tail as Giorgi Mamardashvili suffered an harm which will preserve him out of subsequent Saturday’s Premier League date with Crystal Palace.

The Georgian went to hospital after being taken off on a stretcher and was changed by third alternative Freddie Woodman.

“Giorgi had to go to hospital [with] a big wound so let’s see how he will be,” mentioned Slot. “But Freddie deserves a lot of credit because if you have to come in after conceding the 1-1 and the fans were ready for it but he did his job really well.

“He kept his calm in a difficult moment when he was doubting whether to catch the ball, yes or no, but kept his nerves. He’s worked so hard to have this moment and usually third goalkeepers don’t play a lot but in a season like ours, I think if you are playing in the under-8s at Liverpool, you should be ready for making your debut because it is unbelievable what is happening to us.”
