Everton boss Frank Lampard charged by FA for Liverpool penalty comments

Everton manager Frank Lampard has been charged by the Football Association regarding his comments after the Merseyside derby with Liverpool at Anfield.

Lampard was left frustrated when an appeal for a penalty was turned down after Anthony Gordon and Joel Matip competed for the ball in the second half. A number of analysts and pundits argued a penalty should have been awarded, while the Professional Game Match Officials Board (PGMOL) reportedly said the organisation would have had "no complaints" had a spot kick been given.

The controversy came with the score level at 0-0. Liverpool went on to win 2-0. In the aftermath, Lampard said he believed Gordon should have been given a penalty and argued Reds forward Mohamed Salah would have been awarded one had the situation been reversed.
