Liverpool hero Jamie Carragher slammed Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford after defeat at Anfield.

After a stunning counter-attack from Liverpool, Darwin Nunez crossed the ball into the box for Mohamed Salah, who comfortably knocked the ball past Pickford to put the home side 1-0 up.

Cody Gakpo later made it 2-0 with his first goal since joining the Reds after half time.

Carragher told Sky Sports: "Pickford's position is unbelievable. It's really really poor."

"He's not even looking at Salah, he's looking at Gakpo. If he's in a normal position its such a difficult finish, but its easy for Salah in the end."

On the goal itself, he said: "Liverpool get a bit of fortune. [James] Tarkowski has a chance at the back post - it is reminiscent of the Arsenal goal - but this time it doesn't go in.

"We said before the game that Everton can't cope with counter-attacks. Nunez's pass and the delivery is fantastic.

"The finish from Salah is fantastic but you have to question the goalkeeper, he's in no man's land."
