Scotsman David Moyes tries to hide his joy at denying the Premier League’s best club victory at Goodison Park, but everyone knows what it means for Everton when big brother Liverpool is driven to frustration on the pitch and along the sidelines. Arne Slot has shown himself to be a level-headed man so far on his surf wave of success, on Wednesday there was a lesson in bone football from David Moyes – where the Liverpool manager was sent to the hallway with a red card.
Carlo Ancelotti did it against Jürgen Klopp, Sean Dyche gave Klopp a “farewell gift” in the last Mersesyside derby with a loss to Liverpool. Moyes continues the tradition of creating really difficult working conditions for “big brother”.
When the referee blew the whistle for 2-2 and was about to pat himself on the back for being executed, there was a real commotion between the players from Everton and Liverpool, where Slot and the assistant coach threw themselves into the battle. It ended with four red cards.
The Scotsman Moyes has led Everton in the period 2002-13 through countless Merseyside derbies and knows exactly what it takes to stop Liverpool. This is not the night for the big finesse.
After the game, Slot boycotted the press conference, while David Moyes showed Everton supporters that this was just “just an ordinary day at work”
“Emotions were boiling point all evening, and the stadium was a pot. You could see at the end of the game what it meant to the fans. They gave it a chance on one of the big nights,” Moyes told TNT Sports.
