Everton manager David Moyes has made an incredible claim about Liverpool’s goal against his side on Wednesday.
The Reds continued their march towards their 20th league title with a hard-fought 1-0 win over Everton on Wednesday.
It was their first game since the Carabao Cup defeat to Newcastle United over two weeks ago, and it took a second-half goal from Diogo Jota to secure the win for Arne Slot’s side.
The win brought Liverpool’s total victory over Everton to 100 and ended the Toffees’ nine-match unbeaten league run to an abrupt halt.

Liverpool dominated every aspect of the game, limiting Everton to zero shots on target. The Toffees did score a goal, though, but it was rightly ruled out as offside.
After the game, Moyes suggested that the goal his side conceded was also supposed to be ruled out for offside.
Speaking to Sky Sports post-match, Moyes said:
“There is an offside goal, which they get. That is the difference in the game tonight. The players behind Tarkowski interfere with him clearing it. It’s a clear offside, a very easy decision to give! I can’t understand any reason that would not be given outside, none at all.”
It is surprising to hear Moyes claim that Liverpool’s goal was offside, as Jota was fully onside in the build-up to the goal.
The Portuguese received the ball outside the area, tiptoed his way into the area, and hammered home in front of the Kop. The claim that he was offside is absurd at best.
With the win, Liverpool now need three more wins and a draw from their remaining eight league games to secure the Premier League title. They are back in action on Sunday, with a game against Fulham.
Meanwhile, Everton have a chance to help Liverpool towards winning the title earlier, as they take on Arsenal in the next game.
