It was an image that summed up the sorry state that Everton Football Club currently finds themselves in.
Such was the desperation to rescue a point against Aston Villa, Jordan Pickford went sent up for a corner as the clock ticked into the final few seconds of the match.
However, there was to be no fairy-tale ending for caretaker boss Duncan Ferguson, with the corner coming to nothing and referee Craig Pawson blowing up for full-time.
