The only contentious decision is the Konate one of which no one is taking into account Beto not even attempting to get the ball and was more focussed on falling over.

Yep, I agree completely.
I just find it somewhat annoying that he can get the decision right for Young but can’t for Konate? It seems super obvious to me that it was a bookable offence and i don’t get why he doesn’t give it. Like, what has he possibly seen that makes him think it isn’t?

9 mins?!
My thoughts exactly
Probably had a bet on with the Toney-Tonali bookies for a Liverpool win
Where have they got that number from!?

Nice to be on the positive side of a ref mistake for once, Konate should've been off but we deserved the win.
Kostas really is quite a substantial downgrade on Robertson though

It was always going to be the case after the kick up from the last match.
Guess that’s it evened out.
Brutal for Everton, nothing will be said I don’t think.
A typical scrappy derby but an important 3 points. I thought we played pretty well in the first half but after the red card Everton had everybody behind the ball and we struggled to create a great deal. The way the opening goal came about looked like the only way we were going to score - we just had to keep getting to the byline and get the ball into the box hope the law of averages meant something fell our way and in the end that was the handball.
The way some of the pundits are going on about Everton being unlucky with decisions is way OTT. Yes, Konate could have easily been given a 2nd yellow but it's wasn't a nailed on decision and one that refs sometimes let go. Pawson showed with Young his willingness to give players an extra life when he didn't give Young a 2nd yellow for kicking the ball away 10(?) mins before he received his 2nd yellow. The penalty was about as straight forward as you can get and the rules around handball was changed about 10 years ago for that very thing.
