Everton: 'Big mistake' involving £110k-a-week star at Goodison Park

Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford made a ‘big mistake’ that ‘top-class’ shot-stoppers would not make when he conceded a crucial penalty against Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday evening, according to journalist Paul Brown.

However, Lampard refused to add to the criticism of his number one, pointing to the ‘many times’ the keeper has saved them in the past.

“I do think it was a penalty and I think that the fact that he
