'Severe pain' - Anthony Gordon makes Everton penalty claim and dismisses 'diving' Liverpool decision

Anthony Gordon believes he should have had a penalty in the Merseyside derby on Sunday. Liverpool eventually ran out 2-0 winners over Everton at Anfield with goals from Andrew Robertson and Divock Origi helping them over the line.

The defeat leaves the Toffees in the bottom three and in serious relegation trouble as Burnley beat Wolverhampton Wanderers earlier in the day. However, they will consider themselves unlucky not to have taken a point from the game, as a number of refereeing decisions seemingly went against them.

Liverpool striker Sadio Mane was fortunate not to see red before half-time after a push in Allan's face and a poke in the eye of Mason Holgate. After the break, Everton winger Gordon then scampered forward into the penalty area on the counter attack and was seemingly brought down by Joel Matip.
