The ECHO review: The ball was there to be won and supporters of both clubs would begrudge their centre-half pulling out of the tackle.

Ryan Gravenberch's pass was blocked by Tarkowski, with the Colombian behind him in an offside position, Jota picked the pockets of James Garner before a one-two with Diaz created an avenue for a shot.

Jota delivered, wrong-footing Jordan Pickford with a decisive finish.

At the time, only Jarrad Branthwaite appealed and in the aftermath, Everton have been left aggrieved by the decision to allow the goal to stand as it was deemed that Diaz had not interfered with play.

I don’t think they did particularly well at it."

The ECHO review: The rules imply that a player will be penalised if they are; preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent's line of vision, or challenging an opponent for the ball, or clearly attempting to ply a ball which is close when this action impacts on an opponent, or making an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball

The ECHO verdict: The complaints from Everton supporters are understandable as without Diaz behind the defensive line, Tarkowski could allow the ball to run through to Pickford or out of play



Jordan Pickford tangle with Darwin Nunez

In the latter stages of the game, there was a coming together between Darwin Nunez and Pickford as the Uruguayan raced towards the ball.

The England shot-stopper looked to clear the loose ball and avert the danger but caught the Liverpool striker in the process, leaving him in a heap.

There were complaints about the tangle with Pickford and Nunez but the game had already been brought to a halt for a foul on the Hungarian.

Nunez was cautioned for rolling back onto the pitch under the rules of unsportsmanlike behaviour.

The ECHO verdict: The contact wasn't too reckless to warrant a red card for Pickford and with the game already long-halted for the incident on Szoboszlai, complaints are a non-starter.

Had there been no contact in Liverpool's half, play continued and the passage of play played out how it did, Liverpool would have had strong arguments for a penalty
