Everton captain James Tarkowski caught Liverpool midfielder Alexis Mac Allister in the 11th minute.

Referee Sam Barrott went immediately to his pocket and there could have been few complaints if he brandished a red card - but instead only a yellow was issued.

Within one TV replay it seemed clear the 32-year-old centre-half could yet find himself in trouble with the video assistant referee ( VAR ), but after a quick check - which lasted only 10 seconds according to the Premier League match centre - Paul Tierney decided no further action was necessary.
