Liverpool fans online have lauded Curtis Jones following their 1-0 Premier League win over Everton on Wednesday (April 2). The Englishman was decent as a makeshift right-back in Trent Alexander-Arnold's absence.
Beto appeared to have opened the scoring for Everton in the 22nd minute. However, his goal was disallowed for offside by the VAR. In the 33rd minute, Beto spurned another opportunity to give the visitors the lead as his shot didn't pose any threat to Caoimhin Kelleher.
Diogo Jota (57’) broke the deadlock for Liverpool as he buried his shot in the back of the net following a beautiful link-up with Luis Diaz. Jota's goal was enough to secure all three points for the Reds as the game ended 1-0.

"There is an offside goal" - David Moyes on Liverpool's goal against Everton
Everton manager David Moyes has claimed that Jota's goal in his side's 1-0 loss to Liverpool should have been ruled out. He said he doesn't understand why the goal wasn't ruled out for offside.
In an interview after the game against the Reds, Moyes shared his thoughts about Jota's goal. He told Sky Sports (via DaveOCKOP's X handle):
"There is an offside goal, which they get. That is the difference in the game tonight. The players behind Tarkowski interfere with him clearing it. It's a clear offside, a very easy decision to give! I can't understand any reason that would not be given offside, none at all."
The Reds remain at the top of the Premier League standings with 73 points from 30 games. They are 12 points above Mikel Arteta's Arsenal, who are second on the table.
