Overview
- Liverpool remained perfect in the league with a 2-1 win at Anfield, as Ryan Gravenberch scored and set up Hugo Ekitike before Idrissa Gueye replied for Everton.
- Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was cautioned in the 78th minute for taking a free‑kick too quickly, a decision Everton players and staff called unprecedented.
- Only three minutes were added at the end of the second half, prompting criticism from Everton and pundits who felt the pauses in play warranted more time.
- Jack Grealish was booked after the final whistle for remonstrating with officials, with Jordan Pickford guiding him away, while David Moyes voiced frustration at several calls.
- Footage showed Moyes in a heated pre‑match exchange with the referee, and although scrutiny of officiating intensified, no FA charges from this fixture were reported.
