Moyes believes furious Goodison derby showed football should not be sanitised
Everton manager chasing first win in 22nd Anfield derbyClub consider keeping Goodison Park for women’s side
David Moyes has said the entertainment provided by the most recent Merseyside derby is a prime example of why authorities must be careful not to “sanitise” Premier League football.
Everton and Liverpool meet again on Wednesday, 49 days after their tumultuous 2-2 draw in the final derby staged at Goodison Park. Four red cards were shown after the final whistle – to Curtis Jones, Abdoulaye Doucouré, Arne Slot and Slot’s assistant Sipke Hulshoff – after James Tarkowski’s 98th-minute equaliser sparked wild scenes at the end of a competitive and controversial game. The match itself, Moyes insists, is what many football fans want to see.
