Liverpool Extends Premier League Lead After Controversial Win Over Everton

Liverpool secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Everton thanks to Diogo Jota's goal, which has sparked controversy over offside rulings. Jota's goal, set up by Luis Diaz who was initially in an offside position, stood despite Everton manager David Moyes expressing disappointment at losing to what he deemed a 'clearly offside goal.' Liverpool manager Arne Slot acknowledged the officials made the correct call according to current rules but voiced his dislike for the offside rule itself, stating it hampers attacking play. The match also featured a contentious moment when Everton's James Tarkowski avoided a red card for a dangerous tackle, which Slot and Moyes both noted could have warranted harsher punishment. Overall, while Liverpool maintained their lead at the top of the Premier League, the match was marked by significant officiating debates.
