Unable to beat Liverpool in the derby, Moyes said Everton didn't get the result they deserved.

Everton, nicknamed the "Toffees," suffered a 1-2 defeat to their city rivals Liverpool at Hill Dickinson Stadium in the Merseyside derby during the 33rd round of the Premier League. After conceding a goal and equalizing through Beto, they ultimately conceded a late goal from a set piece. Moyes stated that his team did not achieve the result they deserved, but still believed they played well.

In the 26th minute, Jack O'Brien crossed from the right wing, and Ndiaye met the pass and slotted the ball into the net. However, after VAR intervention, it was determined that Jack O'Brien was offside, and the goal was disallowed.

In the 29th minute, Gakopo delivered a diagonal pass into the penalty area, where Salah seized the opportunity and fired a low shot into the net, giving Liverpool a 1-0 lead. In the 54th minute of the second half, Dusbury Hall crossed the ball into the box, where Beto slid in and scored, leveling the score at 1-1 for Everton.

In the final stages of the second half, Szoboszlai took a corner kick, and Van Dijk headed the ball into the net, giving Liverpool a 2-1 lead.

Ultimately, Everton lost 1-2 to Liverpool in this Merseyside derby.

Everton manager David Moyes said, "I think the players played exceptionally well in this game, but they didn't get the result they deserved. We should have gotten more from this game, and the players put on a fantastic performance. Although the final goal was disappointing, overall the players' performance was outstanding."

“We have nothing to be ashamed of in this game. Our opponents are one of the teams in the league that are aiming for a Champions League spot and trophies, and I think we gave them a lot of trouble. I hope this team stays competitive, and they made things difficult for Liverpool.”

Regarding Ndiaye's disallowed goal, Moyes said, "The situation was a bit chaotic at the time, and at that stage, it seemed like a good goal to me, but we believe the decision made by those in charge was correct. We will not make excuses for this; we should have done better, but we didn't."

On the other hand, after this victory, Liverpool are now in 5th place in the standings with 55 points, continuing their fight for Champions League qualification.

Liverpool manager Sloot said: "It is certainly very important because, as everyone understands, our goal is to qualify for the Champions League. But I think before this game, we are not only focused on the league table, but also on playing for Liverpool."

“We mourned the immense tragedy of the Hillsborough disaster a few days ago, and we brought that feeling into this match. It is an honor to represent this club, and the players showed what that means to them.”

Sloot also said, "The fans have given us tremendous support, just like they have all season. After such a week, beating them in a game at their new stadium is a huge reward for everyone at Liverpool."
