- Everton defender booked for challenge on Mac Allister
- VAR should have recommended review of tackle
The referees’ body, Professional Game Match Officials Ltd (PGMOL), has acknowledged that Everton’s James Tarkowski should have been sent off early on in their defeat at Liverpool on Wednesday. The defender was only cautioned for a reckless challenge on Alexis Mac Allister, described as a “Merseyside derby tackle of old”.
The referee, Sam Barrott, gave Tarkowski a yellow card and David Moyes conceded the defender was fortunate to stay on the pitch. PGMOL believes the video assistant referee, Paul Tierney, should have recommended a review.
