Everton and Frank Lampard's defence after he was charged for comments he made after the Merseyside derby at Anfield earlier this year have been revealed.
Lampard was charged by the FA following the Blues' 2-0 defeat to Liverpool in April. Throughout the match, his side felt aggrieved at a number of decisions they perceived to have gone against them, including particularly a penalty call against Anthony Gordon in the second half.
With the scores still at 0-0, the winger looked to have been brought down by Joel Matip inside the Liverpool box. However, referee Stuart Attwell turned down the appeals from Everton, who went on to lose the match.
