PGMOL has admitted that Everton defender James Tarkowski should have been sent off through a VAR review in the Merseyside derby on Wednesday night.

It leaves Liverpool 12 points above closest challenges Arsenal, as a Premier League title in Arne Slot’s first season at the club moves ever closer. The Reds need only a maximum 13 points from their final eight matches to complete the job.

A trademark Sara Holmgaard corner caused chaos in the United box, with Justine Vanhavermaet heading it down in to the six-yard area. Martina Fernandez reacted first to fire goalwards only for the ball to strike Snoeijs’ arm before the forward fired past Phallon Tullis-Joyce.

Two major bits of pre-match news: Alisson is out, presumably injured again (or still) and Curtis Jones has been deployed out at right back. Diaz also gets the nod over Gakpo. Anyway, it’s the 246th Merseyside Derby, into these, Reds!

Arne Slot’s men are strong favourites, and rightly so. Everton are appropriate long shots, and while 3/1 odds for a draw would be a great price if this game was being played at Goodison Park (where four of the last six meetings have been draws)…it’s at Anfield, where in normal circumstances, Liverpool run out the victors time after time.

In front of a typically raucous Anfield crowd, Liverpool started the brighter of the two sides. Diogo Jota saw his early shot blocked before Tarkowski was perhaps lucky not to be sent off when he caught Mac Allister high on the leg after clearing the ball.

After the Reds reaffirm their grip on the Premier League title, we take a look at some of the winners and losers on the night.

Everton defender James Tarkowski escaped a red card on Wednesday for a dangerous high tackle on Liverpool's Alexis Mac Allister despite the Premier League describing it as reckless. Tarkowski was shown yellow by referee Samuel Barrott after 11 minutes of the game at Anfield for his studs up challenge that left Mac Allister writhing in pain.
