Overview

• Everton’s Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was shown a yellow card in the 78th minute for taking a quick free-kick with his team trailing 2-1 at Anfield.
• Gary Lineker and Alan Shearer called the decision “madness,” arguing on The Rest is Football podcast that the fouled team should be allowed to restart quickly.
• Former Premier League referee Mark Halsey described the booking as “nonsense” and criticised England’s game management.
• Everton manager David Moyes complained that repeated stoppages and only three minutes of added time prevented his side from building momentum.
• The booking leaves Dewsbury-Hall one caution from suspension, and Jack Grealish received a post-match yellow for protesting to the referee.
