Everton boss David Moyes referred to as the late penalty which gave Leeds victory at Elland Street ‘a very poor choice.’
Toffees skipper James Tarkowski blocked a shot from Anton Stach together with his arm – which was down by his facet – and after a VAR test referee Chris Kavanagh’s choice to award a penalty was confirmed.
Lukas Nmecha buried the spot kick to make sure three factors for Leeds and cap a dismal show from Everton.
Moyes advised the BBC: “I’m actually disillusioned and except you narrow the boy’s hand off, I don’t know the place he goes. I don’t know if the group performs an element in it. They obtained proper behind their group and Leeds performed effectively and doubtless deserved the victory in equity.
“I believe it’s a very poor choice. VAR had an opportunity to undo it. They tried to say he was leaning to the ball. Certainly you’re allowed to lean along with your arms by your sides?
“I believe that’s a very dangerous one for us. The referees haven’t had an awesome weekend.
“Leeds got here out the blocks and we anticipated it. We modified at half-time and we had been significantly better within the second half and if any group was going to win it, I assumed it might be us.”
Tarkowski mentioned that he was assured the on-field choice could be overturned however former Manchester United captain Gary Neville – and Jamie Carragher – had been adamant it was an accurate choice.
“James Tarkowski is the kind of defender who thinks he ought to get in entrance of each single shot,” Neville mentioned.
“The guilt was written throughout Tarkowski’s face. He is aware of it’s a penalty.
“Tarkowski moved his arm in direction of the ball. He leans into it and he blocks it. It’s a penalty, and he is aware of what he has performed. He is aware of it’s a penalty.
“He is aware of that he has made a mistake.”
