A deflected goal deciding the game. A sending off the turning point. Ring any bells?

I have to say I laughed my arse off at Everton’s late win over Liverpool last night. I’ve never minded Everton and have always felt they’ve got themselves a really good manager in David Moyes. Obviously, the same can’t be said of my feelings for Liverpool and the paranoid goatee’d one who stands on their touchline.

So, it was with even more delight that I read these comments from him following the game:

“I am really disappointed…….. To play for a long time with 10 players and then to concede a goal right at the end from a deflection, we have to be disappointed. The turning point of the game was the sending-off but I prefer not to say anything about that.”

So, he knows how it feels to be on the losing end of a deflected goal. Excellent. And he knows how it feels when a sending off affects the outcome of a game. Even better.

I love a good bit of karma.
