After the match, Liverpool supporters took to social media to express their anger and disbelief upon seeing a new perspective of the goal.
A screenshot from the VAR check surfaced online showing Liverpool defender Ibrahima Konate being headed by Everton’s first goalscorer Beto, preventing him from possibly clearing the ball before Tarkowski scored.
Reacting to the photo, one fan wrote: “Thought it was a nailed on foul on Konate tbh, was never likely to be given in the circumstances like but still.”
While another admitted: “Was a foul but never expected it to get turned over.”
Beto clearly shoves Ibou Konate with no intention of playing the ball. Konate wins these kinds of headers 10/10 times if not for being fouled.. pic.twitter.com/ZGHKf72koz
And another wrote: “Look it won’t change the result but again I don’t care what any1 says it was a foul on konate simple.”
Even Manchester United fan Mark Goldbridge said: “Obviously happy with that Everton goal but even as a United fan that’s a foul on Konate. You can’t just shove someone out the way of the ball like that.”
Everton captain James Tarkowski’s 98th-minute goal against Liverpool resulted in a 2-2 draw.
Following the dramatic late goal, Everton midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure taunted the away fans, provoking a heated exchange with Liverpool’s Curtis Jones, a lifelong supporter of the Reds.
Both players received a second yellow card and will miss their next matches.
In the ensuing chaos, Liverpool manager Slot and assistant coach Sipke Hulshoff were also shown red cards for their reaction to the events, leaving them out of the dugout for Sunday’s home game against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
