Arne Slot can relate to David Moyes’ frustration that Liverpool’s goal was allowed to stand against Everton in Wednesday’s Merseyside derby but said that “no one can complain” that it was awarded.
Diogo Jota’s strike in the 57th minute ensured the Reds returned to winning ways after back-to-back defeats against Paris Saint-Germain and Newcastle United before the international break.
But the victory wasn’t without its controversies, with several incidents for the officials to deal with at Anfield.
Perhaps the most significant was the decision to allow Jota’s goal to stand despite Luis Diaz being in an offside position in the build-up.
“The player behind Tarkowski [Diaz] is clearly offside and it's a very easy decision to give.
Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota combined for Liverpool's goal against Everton.
“If a team wants to play a high press, but keep a high line, and then someone is offside you would love to see it being offside.
That’s not the rules; the people that make the rules are not there for the love of the game, they are just there for making the rules.”
Slot didn’t want to be drawn on the other controversial moment of the game: Tarkowski’s tackle on Alexis Mac Allister, which saw the Everton defender only shown a yellow card.
