Video: Everton fans fume at dodgy decision as Konate escapes sending off in the Merseyside derby
Liverpool beat Everton 2-0 in the Merseyside derby earlier today but the victory did not come without a controversy.
Ibrahima Konate picked up a yellow card early in the second half. And he could have been sent off moments later when the Frenchman cut out an Everton counter-attack near the halfway line as he fouled Beto.
Players from the Blues soon surrounded the referee calling for a second yellow while boss Dyche screamed for one in his technical area.
However, the ref waved away all those appeals and allowed him to stay on. Klopp took no chances and immediately took Konate off and replaced him with Joel Matip.
Minutes later Liverpool went on to break the deadlock after Everton conceded a penalty. Salah slotted home from the spot and then scored again in the dying minutes of the game from a deadly counter attack led by Darwin Nunez.
