In what was supposed to be a farewell classic for Everton at their historic home ground, James Tarkowski’s stunning 98th-minute volley rescued a 2-2 draw against Premier League leaders Liverpool. 🏟️💥

David Moyes Reacts: "It Was Mayhem" 🎙️

With Arne Slot banned from speaking due to Premier League rules, Everton manager David Moyes had to address the post-match chaos. Speaking to reporters, Moyes described the derby as an "old-fashioned throwback" filled with passion and controversy.

> 🗣️ Moyes on the red cards: "It was mayhem all game… I’m disappointed with Doucoure’s red card because we’re already short on players."

> 🗣️ On the incredible atmosphere at Goodison: "The support tonight was unbelievable. The way the crowd stayed until the end—it was a magical moment."

> 🗣️ On Everton’s fightback: "We didn’t win, which was disappointing, but we got a draw in a game that didn’t look like it would go our way."

Despite the late controversy, Moyes insisted that Evertonians deserved this moment in their final home derby against their fierce rivals.

Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk had his say on the wild finish, making a thinly-veiled dig at Everton:

> 🗣️ Van Dijk to TNT Sports: "We all know this is their cup final, and they will do everything to try and beat us. Doucoure wanted to provoke our fans, and Curtis reacted."
