Premier League has leaked voice tape of What Michael Oliver told Jordan Pickford moments before Everton’s equaliser against Liverpool as Premier League is planning to reschedule the match after that audio 😮😱 You can’t believe what he said to him 💔😡

Pickford Clarifies Added Time Before Tarkowski’s Equalizer Against Liverpool

 

Jordan Pickford has confirmed that referee Michael Oliver extended stoppage time at Goodison Park by two and a half minutes before James Tarkowski’s dramatic late equalizer secured a crucial point for Everton against Liverpool.

 

Everton had been trailing 2-1 after Alexis Mac Allister and Mohamed Salah overturned Beto’s early opener. However, Tarkowski’s goal in the 98th minute ensured the match ended in a draw, sparking jubilant celebrations.

 

Liverpool manager Arne Slot and his assistant Sipke Hulshoff were both sent off after the final whistle following heated protests over the late equalizer.

 

Pickford Dismisses Controversy Over Extra Time

 

Addressing claims that the additional minutes were excessive, Pickford told TNT Sports that the time extension was justified. He explained that a collision between Jarrad Branthwaite and Carlos Alcaraz had caused the game to be extended, a decision he personally verified with Oliver.

 

“When Jarrad and Carlos went down, I asked the referee how much time remained, and he told me ‘97 and a half.’ We scored at 97:26, so no extra time was unfairly added,” Pickford clarified.

 

A Valuable Result for Everton

 

Emphasizing the importance of the draw, Pickford expressed his satisfaction with Everton’s resilience:

 

“It was a massive result for us and the fans. Merseyside derbies are always intense, and we fought until the final whistle. We deserved the point for our performance.”

 

He also acknowledged the emotional significance of the occasion:

 

“Losing 2-1 would have been tough to accept, especially in the final derby at Goodison. Securing a point was crucial. Now, our focus shifts to preparing for the return

fixture at Anfield.”
