5 d. ago Arne Slot admits he ‘hates’ offside rule that allowed Liverpool’s derby winner

Díaz set up Jota’s goal after coming from offside position‘Do I like the rule? No. It does not help attacking teams’Arne Slot said he hates the rule that allowed Diogo Jota’s winner in the Merseyside derby to stand as Liverpool restored their 12-point lead at the Premier League summit with a hard-fought victory over Everton.David Moyes, the Everton manager, claimed that Jota’s 57th‑minute strike should have been disallowed for an offside against Luis Díaz in the buildup. Díaz came from an offside position to regain possession from a James Tarkowski attempted clearance to set up Jota for the winner. According to the rulebook, however, the Colombian had to be “clearly attempting to play a ball which is close when this action impacts on an opponent” to be adjudged offside. He did not.

5 d. ago It’s unfair to blame Liverpool for being the best team: that's how you win titles | Barney Ronay

It has been an odd, slow bicycle race of a season, but this is hardly the fault of Arne Slot’s impressive league leadersThere was an extraordinary moment in the seconds after Diogo Jota had scored the only goal of this Merseyside derby, as the home supporters seethed and writhed, bodies tumbling, a wave of noise barrelling around the Anfield stands.At which point a lone middle-aged man could be seen emerging from the seats, waving his fists in the direction of what must have been the fourth official, making wild but oddly precise spectacles gestures with his fingers, all the while being hurled back by the combined efforts of three men in orange jackets.

5 d. ago Diogo Jota breaks down Everton’s blue wall as Liverpool move closer to title

The 246th Merseyside derby was as much of a cathartic release for Liverpool as another step closer to a 20th league title. Arne Slot’s side cleansed themselves of recent torment against Everton and two deflating cup defeats with a hard-fought but deserved victory courtesy of Diogo Jota’s fine individual goal. A maximum of 13 points is all that is required from the remaining eight games of the season to put the Premier League trophy on display at Anfield once again.There was a determination to seize control of the derby from the start by Liverpool and, unlike the previous two encounters at Goodison Park, a composure in possession that enabled them to do so. The painful Champions League exit and deserved Carabao Cup final defeat that preceded the international break, plus of course memories of their last run-in with Everton 49 days ago, may also have fuelled the hunger and intensity of a team closing in on the Premier League title.
