The Colombian was one of those who most touched the ball and contributed to the attack. They even disallowed a goal in Everton’s 1-0 loss.
It was one of the most exciting matches of this day of Premier league, until now, and had James Rodriguez as the protagonist. And despite losing 1-0 to him Leeds by Marcelo Bielsa, Everton had many options controlled by goalkeeper Ilian Meslier or by the VAR.
While at the Colombian wheel he had an outstanding performance. He ran, looked for his teammates, was the partner of the others and was in charge of commanding the attack of the Liverpool box. However, he was unsuccessful in scoring. And that marked a great goal that was annulled by the VAR.
James Rodríguez lowered it with his chest and managed to keep the ball from going over the end line, and incidentally left his marker behind. Then he defined against Meslier with a powerful shot. The review of the technology showed that the Colombian was a few centimeters ahead and therefore the annotation was not validated.

In total there were three shots, two on goal, five assists and one offside. In addition, 39 passes in the opposite field, of the 45 he gave, eight centers, three good to the area and, of course, five turnovers due to the pressure in the Leeds area.
