James Tarkowski SHOULD have been sent off for horror lunge vs Liverpool say PGMOL but won’t face any punishment

Published on April 03, 2025 at 08:45 AM

PGMOL bosses admit James Tarkowski should have been sent off in the Merseyside derby.

Everton defender Tarkowski only saw yellow for a horrible tackle on Liverpool’s Alexis Mac Alister as he cleared the ball on the edge of his own box in the first half of the Anfield clash.

While former England defender Tarkowski clearly played the ball first, his out of control follow through saw him clatter into the Argentine midfielder‘s calf.

Referee Sam Barrott judged it to be a “reckless”; challenge and worthy of only a booking.

But PGMOL chiefs agree it should have been deemed serious foul play and that VAR Paul Tierney was wrong not to intervene and recommend a review at the pitch side monitor.

Despite the private admission, under FA rules there is no possibility of retrospective action for Tarkowski.

The Everton defender apologised to Mac Allister after the final whistle and the pair appeared to kiss and make up.
