Everton winger Jack Grealish was shown a yellow card by referee Darren England for remonstrating with the officials following Liverpool’s 2-1 win in the Merseyside derby at Anfield.
Ryan Gravenberch and Hugo Ekitike gave Arne Slot’s team a 2-0 lead inside the first half following an impressive display from the Reds, but David Moyes’ side grew into the game with Grealish and Iliman Ndiaye lively on either flank.
It the was said duo who combined for Idrissa Gueye’s Everton goal – just before the hour-mark – to tee up a nervy finish. Everton huffed and puffed, but Liverpool held firm to maintain their 100 per cent start to the Premier League season.
At the final whistle, the camera panned to Grealish who was seen arguing with the officials, while Toffees’ boss Moyes was also making his feelings clear after the defeat. Although it’s not yet clear what the Everton duo were remonstrating about, co-commentator Ally McCoist had a theory.
Speaking on TNT Sports, McCoist said: “He’s very unhappy David. I’m not sure what he’s unhappy about, but I think when he goes back and has a cup of tea he’ll be proud of his boys.” The former Rangers boss added: “I thought that there’d be slightly more stoppage time. I really did.”
