Frank Lampard reacts to Richarlison penalty shout and third red card incident in Everton defeat

Frank Lampard questioned two major decisions that were pivotal in Everton's sickening defeat to Brentford, arguing the game turned on the failure to give the Blues a penalty.

Richarlison clearly had his shirt pulled by Kristoffer Ajer as he battled for the ball in the away side's box while the hosts were looking to build on their early lead. The referee, Michael Oliver, turned down the Brazil star's appeals and Ivan Toney latched onto the clearance that followed - only to be brought down by Jarrad Branthwaite.

The young defender was sent off - a red card Lampard accepted was the correct decision. But he argued the attack should not have developed because play should have been stopped for an Everton penalty.
