Everton manager David Moyes, speaking to TNT Sports: “Mental probably sums it up. A brilliant finish for us, to finish the last Goodison Merseyside derby and score in the last minute is in a way fitting.
“We would have liked to have won the game but at 2-1 down I was just thinking that we probably weren’t going to get back in, it just looked like Liverpool would keep us out.
“We worked hard, kept at it, probably had more attempts in the second half than the first. Tarky had the quality which was the one that really mattered.”
On Tarkowski scoring on his 100th Premier League appearance for Everton: “I think after his game last weekend he’ll be pleased he got the goal. He scored a great goal tonight and it will be remembered in history.”
On how tonight’s game compares to others he’s managed: “It was right up there and it was great at the end. I think the night was maybe made for something to happen. It wasn’t the greatest, it wasn’t the cleanest game of football you’ve ever watched but it was a bit of a throwback, a bit scrappy for both sides. We had to find a way of making the gap not so big tonight and did a good job of it.”
On what’s changed since he took over as Everton manager: “The fact is I think the players have responded really well in what they’ve done. We’ve made more chances. Beto’s come in and scored the goal, he’s scored for us earlier on as well. That’s really helped us, we’ve suddenly creating a few more chances than we had. All praise to the players.”
