US EditionDavid Moyes Slams VAR After Everton Red Card - "I Don’t Know Anyone on the Planet"
David Moyes called the VAR red card for Michael Keane 'ridiculous,' arguing the action was not deliberate violent conduct and the decision cost Everton a chance to climb the table.
- VAR intervened in the 83rd minute to send referee Thomas Kirk to the pitch-side monitor, leading to Michael Keane's straight red after replays showed him pulling Tolu Arokodare's hair.
- David Moyes said the decision was 'ridiculous' and blamed VAR more than referee Thomas Kirk, arguing the contact was not violent, forceful, or deliberate and criticizing the screen review.
- Jack Grealish was sent off after two yellow cards for dissent within three minutes, and Everton had led through a first-half goal from Michael Keane before Matheus Mane levelled with just over 20 minutes to go.
- Keane now faces a three‑match ban, which David Moyes said further depletes Everton's already thin resources, and the result denied Everton the chance to move to within three points of fourth place.
- Moyes compared the incident to clearer hair-pulls like Marc Cucurella's, while referee Thomas Kirk concluded violent contact occurred after VAR's review, a decision Moyes disputed.
