Liverpool are a step closer to winning the Premier League title after beating Everton 1-0 in a feisty match. The Reds came into the game on the back of two cup defeats, but enjoyed plenty of possession in the first half. However, it was Everton who had the closest chance to scoring when Beto’s shot rebounded off the post.
The match saw several intense moments, including a horror challenge by James Tarkowski on Alexis Mac Allister that left the midfielder in a heap. Despite this, referee Sam Barrott decided not to send Tarkowski off, and he was instead booked for his tackle. This decision has sparked debate among fans and pundits about whether it was the right call.
Liverpool’s win has been attributed to their calm approach after taking the lead. They managed the game well in the final half an hour, with Everton unable to have a shot on goal. The Reds’ late control pleased manager Arne Slot, who praised his team for managing the game better than they did in their previous encounter against Everton.
The win has put Liverpool one step closer to winning the title, but they will face a tough test next Sunday when they travel to Fulham.
