Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk is set for surgery after injuring his knee in a clash with Everton keeper Jordan Pickford
INCIDENT: In the sixth minute of the Merseyside derby, Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford came out to meet Virgil van Dijk in the area, making a high, sliding tackle. He caught the defender around the knee, sending him clattering over, but no penalty was given with Van Dijk having already been flagged for offside.
But there was no booking made either - yellow or red - with neither the referee or the VAR officials deeming it worthy of a review. Van Dijk was substituted soon after and will need knee surgery, facing an extended spell on the sidelines.

FREE TO WATCH: Highlights from Crystal Palace's draw with Brighton in the Premier League
INCIDENT: Crystal Palace were awarded a penalty in the first half after Brighton's Tariq Lamptey was penalised for a foul on Michy Batshuayi. However, replays showed there had been little contact but there was no VAR review used for the decision. Wilfried Zaha scored the resulting penalty for Crystal Palace - their only shot on target in the entire game.
Brighton manager Graham Potter told Sky Sports after the game: "Watching it [the penalty] live, I thought it was soft. I think if you're going to defend the referee, as soon as his [Batshuayi's] arm is up, there's an excuse but at the same time, just because his arm is up, it doesn't mean it's a foul either. I think he went down quite easily but I'm not sure it was a penalty."
