Overview
- David Moyes said refereeing chiefs told Everton they accept that Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall’s cautions against Liverpool and West Ham were incorrect.
- Dewsbury-Hall’s fifth yellow of the season arrived for a late tackle on Kyle Walker-Peters that replays indicated was a clean challenge.
- An earlier booking at Anfield was issued for taking a quick free-kick while Everton chased an equaliser, a call that drew public frustration from Moyes and Jack Grealish.
- The fifth caution triggers a one-match ban, so Dewsbury-Hall will miss the Crystal Palace game as Everton weigh Carlos Alcaraz or Tyler Dibling to fill the role.
- Everton raised the incidents with PGMOL, Dewsbury-Hall called the decisions “mind boggling,” and Moyes noted the player’s bookings are unusually high compared with prior seasons.
