In the fierce Merseyside derby, Liverpool and Ewarton's duel was like a beacon play, both sides scrambled fiercely, and the smell of gunpowder is full of. Soon after the start, Ivoryton will offer delaying tactics, fraudulent injuries, slide shoveling and other means, Liverpool players are not willing to show weakness, the two sides once before half-time clashes, Shadi Ovonni in the fierce battle to shove the opponent and insert the eye, but only get a yellow card, can be described as fortunate.
EWT was on the defensive in this game, trying to get a point, goalkeeper Bickford's delaying tactics made Liverpool more and more anxious, Brazilian striker Richard Litson frequently fell to the ground, before half-time he claimed that he was injured and asked for medical treatment after failed to intercept, EWT players expressed their dissatisfaction with the "red" did not stop the game, which led to the players of the two sides to fight, Shadi Ovonni and Hegidi confrontation again, shoving and sticking eyes, but eventually only showed a yellow card. Shadiovanni and Heggyi were again pushed and shoved when they confronted each other and stuck their eyes in the air, but they were only shown a yellow card in the end.
The referee turned a blind eye to the "crying wolf" effect when EWT starlet Anthony Gorton was yellow carded for sliding tactics in the first half but was not awarded a 12-yard penalty for an infringement by Zurmadibi in the penalty area in the second half. PGMOL, which provides Premier League refereeing services, confirmed after the game that Shadi Owaini's "eye-poke" and Anthony Gorton's failure to take a 12-yard penalty were not considered serious errors by VAR, and therefore did not intervene. EWT team leader Lambert criticized angrily after the match: "The ball was obviously 12 yards, but at Anfield Road, unless Mohamed Sana was infringed, there is no way a penalty could have been awarded!"
