“That’s not surprising at all” – Angry Jordan Pickford says the Liverpool referee was biased after the derby loss.
Jordan Pickford, the goalkeeper for Everton, was not happy with the choice to not dismiss Ibrahima Konate during the Merseyside derby.
The Liverpool defender’s tackle on Beto, which stopped a possible counterattack, may have resulted in a second yellow card.
But the referee and the VAR decided against it, which greatly infuriated Everton.
Jordan Pickford lambasted the referees following the match, declaring that it was “no surprise” that Everton was not the winning team.
The man said:
“What a long day it has been. It will never be easy for an Everton player to come to Anfield.
“No surprise there—we worked hard, gave it our all, and decisions didn’t go our way.”
“Since we cut to ten men, I think our work rate has been the best.” After about thirty minutes or so, we dug in, and they created possibilities as if they would always present themselves. We put up a brave fight. As a collective, we’re not too far away. It’s always difficult to come here, but even with just ten men, we gave it everything we had and were never out of the game. When the boys start working at ten, you’re going to be exhausted.
Liverpool scored shortly after the Konate incident. Everton gave up a penalty after Keane handled the ball inside the penalty box. Mo Salah’s penalty kick gave Liverpool the advantage.
In the last moments of the match, Salah scored one more goal. Darwin Nunez launched a brilliant counterattack that forced the defenders to back off and allowed the Egyptian to do what he does best: score.
