Overview

• Liverpool maintained a perfect league start with goals from Ryan Gravenberch and Hugo Ekitike before Idrissa Gueye pulled one back for Everton at Anfield.
• Everton’s Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was booked after taking a quick free-kick when the referee was not facing play, with only three minutes added at full time.
• BBC-cited IFAB guidance states quick free-kicks are not inherently cardable, though Law 12 allows cautions for dissent or unsporting behaviour, and play may require the whistle if an injury is being treated.
• Jack Grealish received a yellow card after confronting referee Darren England post-match, having complained on TNT Sports about the booking and the limited stoppage time, with Jordan Pickford intervening.
• David Moyes questioned several decisions and the three minutes shown, with TNT Sports footage also showing him in a heated tunnel exchange pre‑kickoff, while former referee Keith Hackett urged PGMOL to consider independent timekeeping; PGMOL has not commented.
