Liverpool 1-0 Everton: Diogo Jota wins it for Reds as James Tarkowski avoids sending off for 'horrible challenge'
Baku, April 3, AZERTAC
Liverpool restored their 12-point advantage at the top of the Premier League with a 1-0 win over Everton in a controversial Merseyside derby at Anfield, according to Sky Sports.
Diogo Jota's fine goal in front of the Kop just before the hour mark won it after David Moyes' side had boasted the clearer openings in a first half that should have seen James Tarkowski sent off for what most regarded as a horrible foul on Alexis Mac Allister.
After that, Beto had one ruled out for offside and hit the post with another chance as Liverpool, who lost the Carabao Cup final last time out having been knocked out of the Champions League in their previous home fixture, struggled to show their best again.
But Arne Slot's side piled on the pressure in the second half, Jota's moment of quality, twisting and turning inside the box, proving decisive. It is now a century of wins for Liverpool against Everton. This one takes them a step closer to the Premier League title.
