During the Merseyside derby at Anfield, James Tarkowski fouled Alexis Mac Allister, prompting controversy over officiating. Originally given a yellow card, the decision was reviewed by VAR, who deemed it not a clear error. However, the PGMOL has since stated that Tarkowski's tackle constituted serious foul play and that an on-field review should have been called for. Everton's manager, David Moyes, noted Tarkowski was lucky to remain on the pitch, while Tarkowski himself apologized to Mac Allister post-match.
The Premier League's refereeing body has acknowledged that James Tarkowski should have been sent off during Everton's defeat at Liverpool after a serious foul play incident.
PGMOL stated that referee Sam Barrott should have been recommended to review the tackle on the field, as it met the threshold for serious foul play.
