Jordan Pickford has become the biggest villain for Liverpool after doing this
“There’s no surprise there” – Furious Jordan Pickford suggests Liverpool referee bias following derby defeat.
Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford was displeased with the decision not to dismiss Ibrahima Konate during the Merseyside derby.
The Liverpool defender may have received a second yellow card for a tackle on Beto that thwarted a promising counterattack.
However, both the referee and the VAR opted against it, leaving Everton immensely upset.
After the game, Jordan Pickford criticized the officials, saying it was “no surprise” that decisions did not go Everton’s way.
He stated:
“It’s been a long day. Coming to Anfield as an Everton player will always be difficult.”
“We gave it our all, worked hard and decisions definitely didn’t go our way, no shock there.”
“I believe our work rate has been second to none since we reduced to ten men.” We dug in after roughly a half hour, and they produced opportunities as if they were always going to. We fought valiantly. We’re not far off as a group. Coming here is always a challenge, but we gave it our all and were always in the game – even with only ten men. You’re going to be fatigued getting down to ten and the lads putting in a shift.”
Not long after the Konate incident, Liverpool scored. After Keane handled the ball inside the penalty box, Everton surrendered a penalty. Liverpool took the lead as Mo Salah scored from the penalty spot.
Salah added another goal in the final minutes of the game. Darwin Nunez led a great counter-attack that drew the defenders towards him before passing to the Egyptian, who did what he does best.
