Frank Lampard could be charged by the FA after they wrote to him asking to explain his comments about the officials in Everton’s Merseyside derby defeat, when he claimed Anthony Gordon would have been awarded a penalty had it been Mohamed Salah at the other end of the pitch.
The Everton manager may be accused of bringing the game into disrepute if the FA believe he breached rule E3 if he questioned the integrity of the officials “and/or implied bias.” Were Lampard found guilty, he would probably face a fine.
