Everton have contacted the Professional Game Match Officials Board to air their concerns over some refereeing decisions during their 2-0 loss to Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.

According to PA, Everton are furious that the second-half incident involving Anthony Gordon and Liverpool back Joel Matip was subject to a VAR review.

The match referee Stuart Attwell said it was not a penalty and VAR did not intervene with the game at 0-0.



Everton boss Frank Lampard said after the match that it was a penalty and that had Mo Salah been the victim of the same foul at the other end, it would have been given.

It appears that Lampard’s sentiments are echoed by the powers-that-be at Everton, with an official complaint now lodged.

Spoiler:

Last month the club received an apology, following another official complaint, from PGMOL boss Mike Riley after a handball foul was not given against Rodri in Everton’s home defeat to Manchester City.
