Liverpool fails at Everton: Merseyside derby “A chaos”

Reds Patzen at Everton

The final moments in the last Merseyside derby in Goodison Park were tough. Only Everton defender James Tarkowski achieved the acclaimed 2-2 equalization. A little later there was a pack formation after the final whistle, in which Liverpools Curtis Jones and Evertons Abdoulaye Doucouré and LFC coach Arne Slot of the field were expelled. “It was the whole game about a chaos, a bit like an old -fashioned review,” said Everton’s coach David Moyes at the “TNT Sports” microphone.

At the beginning of December, the prestigious derby failed due to a snowstorm and was scheduled for Wednesday evening. Liverpool FC had the chance to expand the lead over the second -placed Arsenal to nine points. Beto put the Toffees in the lead before Alexis Mac Allister scored the equalization shortly afterwards and Mohamed Salah gave the Reds in the second half. Tarkowski’s hit in added time ensured that the last Merseyside derby in Goodison Park ended without a winner.

“There were very great provocations from a certain player. I think he wanted to provoke our fans and Curtis didn’t think that was right. And you know what happens when there is a little scramble, ”said Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk and said Evertons Doucouré. “The referee did not control the game. I think he had a large part in the game today. ”The compensation was checked by the referee Micheal Oliver for minutes. After the final whistle, Slot stormed towards him and saw the red card. During the wrangling between the teams, fans even stormed the lawn.

Moyes about a “brilliant graduation” in Goodison Park

With the point, Everton increased the lead over the relegation places to ten points. “The part after the game is not really what we should talk about. I am disappointed that Doucouré got the red card because we have too few players anyway, ”said Moyes, which seven professionals are missing due to injury. Among them are the attackers Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Armando Broja and Chermiti.

“A brilliant conclusion for us. Ending the last Merseyside derby in Goodison Park and scoring a goal in the last minute is in a way appropriate, ”summed up Moyes. Everton played his home games in Goodison Park since 1892, and will play in the Everton Stadium from the 2025/26 season, which was built on the site of the former Bramley bogs Dock. The new building is said to have cost £ 500 million and offer space for 52,888 spectators. 39,280 people came to the last Merseyside derby.
