Jack Grealish has confessed to feeling exasperated with the match officials during Saturday's Merseyside derby encounter between Liverpool and Everton.

Despite putting up a valiant fight, the Toffees departed the fixture with nothing to show for their efforts following a slender 2-1 defeat at Anfield.

Ryan Gravenberch broke the deadlock for the Reds in the 10th minute of the match, latching onto Mohamed Salah's through ball and firing home on the volley to beat Jordan Pickford.



Hugo Ekitike then extended the advantage in the 29th minute, before Everton managed to reduce the deficit through Idrissa Gueye after 58 minutes had elapsed.



Discussing the atmosphere at Anfield in an interview with TNT Sports, he commented: "It was what I expected, coming here it was hostile, faster.

"I don't think we played well in the first-half, we came in a half-time and had a chat with the manager and then second half, we lost the game in the second half.

"It's frustrating because if we had played like that, pressed like that from the start it would have been a different game.

He added: "It was a bit frustrating in the second half, because they were trying to slow the game down, at times.

Come on, I've never seen that in the Premier League in the last two or three years."

When he was then asked if there were a few frustrations with the officials, Grealish added: "Yeah, of course.

"Listen, I get sometimes you want to let the game go

I've never heard of that in my life."

This follows Dewsbury-Hall's contentious booking by Darren England in the 78th minute for attempting a free-kick before the referee's whistle, as he desperately sought an equalizer with time running out.

Grealish himself received a yellow card after the final whistle when he approached the match officials to challenge their decisions during the encounter, before Pickford intervened to separate him from the situation.
