Referees Committee: Tarkowski Deserved a Red Card Against Liverpool
The referees committee in the Premier League has acknowledged that James Tarkowski, Everton's defender, deserved a direct red card for his violent tackle on Liverpool's Alexis Mac Allister during the match between the two teams held on Wednesday evening.
The match was marked by refereeing controversy as the referee only issued Tarkowski a yellow card, despite reviewing the incident via video technology. According to 'The Athletic', the referees committee confirmed that the tackle was reckless and warranted a red card.
The match ended with Liverpool winning 1-0, with Portuguese player Diogo Jota scoring in the 57th minute, which strengthens the Reds' lead in the Premier League with 73 points, 12 points ahead of Arsenal in second place with 61 points.
Liverpool has 8 matches remaining in the league, needing 13 points out of 24 to secure the title for the 20th time in its history, and they are scheduled to face Fulham next Sunday in the 31st round of the competition.
