Anfield tribute to Matt Beard before Carabao Cup tie
Arne Slot has dismissed Everton’s criticism of the amount of stoppage time in the Merseyside derby on Saturday, insisting three minutes was correct and Liverpool do not waste time – unlike many of their opponents.
David Moyes and Jack Grealish expressed frustration with the referee Darren England’s display during Liverpool’s 2-1 win at Anfield, with the Everton manager saying it was “very strange” that only three minutes were added to the second half. Grealish was booked after the final whistle for protesting against England’s decision to book Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall for taking a quick free-kick and also claimed Liverpool were trying to slow the game down when under pressure in the second half.
