Everton demanded an explanation for the penalty decision.
Everton will ask the Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) why a challenge in the Merseyside derby that they believe should have resulted in a penalty was not looked into further.
With the game still goalless, attacker Anthony Gordon went over in the box after a challenge by Liverpool’s Joel Matip.
Eight minutes after the incident, Andy Robertson scored Liverpool’s first goal, and Divock Origi sealed the 2-0 triumph.
With six games remaining, Everton has fallen into the relegation zone.
Despite the fact that the Toffees have a game in hand, Frank Lampard’s side is two points behind Burnley, who are in the final relegation spot.

Lampard remarked after the game that if the challenge had been made on a Liverpool player, a penalty would have been awarded.
He explained, “It was a penalty.” “At Anfield, you don’t get penalties.”
If it was Mohamed Salah at the Kop end, I believe [the referee] would deliver that. “Anthony received a call for a foul.”
Everton was denied a penalty in their 1-0 loss to Manchester City earlier this season, despite Rodri appearing to use his hand to control the ball. PGMOL apologized to Everton.
