Everton FC And England Goalkeeper Jordan Pickford Later Apologized For His Mistake

I just want to say sorry to the Everton fans. I think you could see our progression as a group, the chances we created and the football we played. That's a positive but what can I do? There is always a case as a goalkeeper if you make an error it will lead to a goal. Unfortunately, it has been me today but I will be ready for Newcastle on Wednesday. We know we held our own against a good Liverpool side for 96 minutes. I will say sorry to the Everton fans again because I know how much it means to them. As players, we know how much it means to us. You make mistakes every now and again. It's not something you can learn and train and get better from. It's just a freak incident.
