The referee would end up giving 29 fouls in total, with 20 of those being committed by Slot’s side.

Molby believes Oliver’s tendency to blow his whistle actually played into the hands of Everton on the night.

When questioned on the amount of stoppages, Molby told the Liverpool FC Podcast:

“The key for Everton was to get the game the way they did, it was scrappy, it was physical and Liverpool had to try and step away from that and play their own game.

“Liverpool never got that kind of control over the game, where you felt as if they were going to see it out.

Oliver would award a minimum of five minutes of added time but decided to play an extra two minutes due to a collision between Everton duo Jarrad Branthwaite and Carlos Alcaraz.

Those extra two minutes would end up costing Liverpool dearly with Tarkowski’s equaliser coming at the 97:08 minute mark – something which has left the Reds fuming.

Athletic reporter James Pearce has revealed that Liverpool have been left ‘unhappy’ with the decision to play added on time.

“Liverpool were unhappy with both the amount of stoppage time played on top of the announced minimum five minutes and the failure to penalise Beto for his challenge on Konate prior to Tarkowski making it 2-2.”
