Everton boss David Moyes had called the decision \u201cvery strange,\u201d while winger Jack Grealish claimed Liverpool were \u201ctrying to slow the game down at times.\u201d Grealish\u2019s frustration boiled over as he confronted the referee after the final whistle and was shown a yellow card.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Liverpool looked to be in complete control after first-half goals from Ryan Gravenberch and Hugo Ekitike, but Idrissa Gueye\u2019s strike midway through the second half set up a nervy finish at Goodison Park as Everton piled forward.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Slot, however, insisted the three minutes of stoppage time were appropriate. \u201cA lot has been said about the added time against Everton but I would have loved to play on three or four seconds more because we were in a five-v-two situation at that moment,\u201d Slot told the club\u2019s website. \u201cNow that tells you, I think, all about the mentality we have, always wanting to score a goal. The three minutes were completely correct, by the way, because there were only three moments where a substitution was made.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cThere was no time-wasting because that\u2019s not what we do ... and there was no treatment of injuries, one goal scored.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
