FC Liverpool defeats FC Everton in the Merseyside derby. A scene in the first round is amazed at all TV experts.
FC Liverpool has taken the next step towards the championship in the traditional Merseyside derby against Everton FC. After the early end of the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain and the bankruptcy in the league Cup final against Newcastle, the Reds rapped back and defeated the city rivals 1-0 (0-0), the goal of the day was achieved by attacker Diogo Jota (57.).
However, the big excitement of the game was not Jota’s winning goal, but a brutal foul by Everton’s central defender James Tarkowski – the referee Samuel Barrott only punished with a yellow card (11th).
James Tarkowski foul Liverpools Alexis Mac Allister in a bad way
“Shocking”: Carragher stunned
The Englishman had brought Liverpools Alexis Mac Allister off his legs immediately in front of his own penalty area. Tarkowski, who had shot the acclaimed compensation gate in the 98th minute in the last duel with the Reds, played the ball in the campaign, but then hit the Argentinier with an open son at knee height. Mac Allister then remained on the ground with great pain, but video referee Paul Terney did not intervene.
All TV experts in England left all the fact that the impartial team did not correct in this scene on a red card. “As far as the referee performance is concerned, Barrott is in an excellent position, he has to see. It is a shocking tackling, we know that it should be a red card. It is shocking with the help of the Var,” said Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher at Sky Sports .
“That could have been a broken leg”
Former Everton striker Duncan Ferguson agreed that Tarkowski should have received a dismissal. “There is no argument, smooth red. He knows what he is doing. He went through him directly through him, that could have been a broken leg. Maybe it is the first derby for the referee that he should have looked at it on the monitor.”
Even Gary Neville, legend at Liverpool’s archrival Manchester United, could not understand the referee’s decision at all. “This is a potential leg crusher. I think he was very lucky, Tarkowski. Some will say that it was a natural movement. Do you believe me as a defender you don’t need to pull through it, with such force, and it’s very lucky.”
Everton in the bad luck
Liverpool has been undefeated in the Premier League for 26 games, especially in the first half Everton – among other things when a post goal by Beto (33.).
In the second half, however, the Toffees did not achieve too much. Liverpool now has twelve points ahead of FC Arsenal at the top of the table.
