In a thrilling Merseyside derby, Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite scored the opener, potentially challenging a rule that will be implemented next season. The goal, initially deemed onside by the linesman, might have been disallowed under the new semi-automated technology, which will have zero tolerance for offside calls. Liverpool were dealt a blow as the defeat hindered their title aspirations, while Everton’s victory boosted their fight against relegation.
