Tarkowski shared his thoughts on the controversial penalty decision, saying that he was confident it would be overturned. He questioned the referee, asking if his arm was by his side, and the referee replied "no". However, Tarkowski has since read that he leaned into the ball, which he finds hard to understand.

Tarkowski pointed out that the linesman who gave the penalty was 45 yards away, making it difficult for him to see Tarkowski's arm movement. He emphasized that he was simply moving his body to deflect the ball, and his arm was by his side.

Tarkowski acknowledged that the penalty decision was a turning point in the game, costing Everton a point. He also mentioned that the team was aware of the challenge they faced in the first half, but they managed to play better in the second half and stay in the game.

Tarkowski expressed his concern about the team's current situation, stating that they need to bring in new players to replace those who left in the summer.
