Liverpool have been accused of breaking Premier League rules during their dramatic Merseyside derby victory against Everton on Sunday afternoon.The Reds marked the first derby at the Hill Dickinson Stadium with a win after a late Virgil van Dijk header. Mohamed Salah had opened the scoring at Everton’s new home, his ninth against the Toffees, before Beto bundled home an equaliser in the second half.Arne Slot’s men opened up an eight-point lead on their neighbours in the Premier League table, denying Everton the chance to move within two points of them with a win. They also solidified their place in the Champions League spots, pulling clear of Chelsea.Liverpool’s Substitutions vs Everton Questioned By FansFreddie WoodmanThere was a lot of confusion on social media in the aftermath of the match. A lot of it centred around decisions not to book Van Dijk or Ryan Gravenberch and the call to deny Everton’s penalty claim in the first half.However, another point of contention surrounded Liverpool’s substitutions on the day. The Reds were forced into an early change as Giorgi Mamardashvili was stretchered off through injury and replaced by Freddie Woodman.Slot then used his second of three substitution windows to replace Alexander Isak with youngster Rio Ngumoha. That would leave the Liverpool boss with one more opportunity to make substitutions.
