Jordan Pickford could face consequences for hurling the slur “P***k, f*** off” at the referee.
Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford could be in jeopardy after being caught on camera shouting at the referee.
Choices that have been questioned have marred the game. In what appeared to be a legitimate goal that Arsenal got earlier in the game, the VAR determined that Martinelli was offside.
After Jordan Pickford was seen on camera yelling at the fourth official following another incident during the game, fans demanded that he receive a similar punishment.
Oli McBurnie got a red card (2nd yellow) for telling the ref a player pulled his shirt.

In the now-viral video, the custodian is heard screaming at the referee and telling him to “F*** off.”
Van Dijk was fined and suspended by the FA for his outburst at the referee during the match against Newcastle, and Liverpool supporters have noted that Jordan Pickford ought to be punished similarly if there is any consistency.

Fans are right to draw attention to the unpredictable character of Premier League refereeing this season, especially in light of Oli McBurnie receiving a second yellow card after alerting the official that a play had tugged on his jersey the day before.
