Liverpool midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai admits he deliberately protected the penalty spot as they waited on VAR to make a call on Everton defender Michael Keane's handball.
The Reds won 2-0, with Szoboszlai keeping Everton players away from the penalty spot ahead of Mohamed Salah converting his spotkick.
"To be honest I saw it from behind so I was probably 95% sure that it was going to be a penalty," Szoboszlai told LFCTV. I just held the ball so nobody took it and stood there to protect the penalty spot. Yeah, we are a team."
Szoboszlai added: "It feels really good. As I said before, playing at Anfield is something special. I didn't expect that, but yes it feels nice. I expected it was going to be good, but I didn't realise it would be this loud. I have played in a lot of stadiums, but this is one of the best.
"We were in a good position when they went to 10 men because at times this season, we have played with 10 or nine men. I know how it feels to play with 10 men so I know how they feel. You have to be focused until the end - we take the three points and move onto the next game."
