Abdoulaye Doucoure was the centre of attention after Everton’s late equaliser against Liverpool.
It was an exhilarating end to Goodison Park hosting the Merseyside Derby, as both sides played out a 2-2 thriller.
James Tarkowski’s 98th-minute winner sent handbags flying, as Doucoure wound up the Liverpool fans which Curtis Jones wasn’t happy with, as the pair both got sent off.
The Frenchman didn’t stop there as Doucoure mocked Virgil van Dijk, with the Everton midfielder not phased in the slightest after receiving his marching orders.
This was reciprocated in his message on Instagram, which makes for a brilliant post.
Everton’s Abdoulaye Doucoure’s two-word message after Liverpool incident
You couldn’t have asked for a better ending for this great fixture at Goodison, as everything about the game emphasized what the Merseyside derby is all about.
Arne Slot will be schtum with his comments on the game in no choice of his own, as the Liverpool boss also got sent off at full-time.
It’s fair to say Doucoure was a big part in it all kicking off in the end, as the 32-year-old took to Instagram to sum up his emotions.
Plain and Simply, Doucoure wrote: “GOODISON PARK”.
It’s simple but so effective.
Controversy covered Doucoure’s poor performance for Everton vs Liverpool
Everton fans will have quickly forgotten Doucoure’s performance after his antics, as it wasn’t one of his best showings.
His character is unmatched but had Everton lost, the midfielder would’ve received a much different reception after his performance against Liverpool.
| Doucoure’s statistics in Everton 2-2 Liverpool | |
| Minutes played | 90 |
| Red card | 1 |
| Touches | 32 (Least of any outfield player to play 90 minutes) |
| Duels lost | 7 |
| Big chances missed | 2 |
Despite the midfielder playing his part in van Dijk being rattled after Everton’s goal, Doucoure didn’t cover himself in glory over the 90 minutes.
However, will Everton fans really care? Not a chance.
