David Moyes bemoaned an "offside" goal that gave Liverpool a 1-0 win over Everton - but admitted James Tarkowski was lucky to avoid an early red card on a controversial night at Anfield.

Diogo Jota's 57th-minute goal gave Liverpool a 100th derby win and moved them a step closer to the Premier League title, but both sides were left unhappy with decisions from referee Sam Barrott and his assistants.

Jota took his goal, his first since January, in some style, but Moyes fumed over the build-up after his nine-match unbeaten run since returning to Everton ended.

"He’s offside," Moyes said.

Former Everton hard man Duncan Ferguson said it was a "straight red all day" on Sky Sports.

While he questioned the officials, Moyes had "no complaints" over the result away to a side now 12 points clear at the top, and Slot admitted Everton had made his players work hard for their win.



"Nine games unbeaten, Everton, they hardly concede a goal, hardly ever conceded a chance… We had to be there many times and you hope one time it will be enough, and it was for Diogo."
