Liverpool beat Everton 2-1 in the Merseyside derby on Saturday afternoon but tempers flared after the final whistle as Jack Grealish had words with the match officials
A furious Jack Grealish let his emotions get the better of him in the aftermath of the Merseyside derby, where he was shown a yellow card after confronting the match officials alongside the Everton manager, David Moyes.
Liverpool made it five wins from five in the Premier League so far this term with a 2-1 win courtesy of goals from Ryan Gravenberch and Hugo Ekitike. But tempers flared after the final whistle, with Grealish talking himself into a yellow card from referee, Darren England.
Grealish’s England team-mate Jordan Pickford intervened to ensure Grealish didn’t get himself into even more trouble as Moyes also made his feelings clear to the officials.
The champions went in 2-0 up at the break and looked comfortable before Idrissa Gueye halved their lead on the hour mark. That set up a frantic finale but Everton were unable to find an elusive equalisier as Arne Slot’s men maintained their 100 per cent start to the new campaign.
