Fans spot what Jordan Pickford did immediately after Everton's equaliser vs Liverpool and it sums him up

Pickford's first response to James Tarkowski's dramatic equaliser has been spotted.

Fans spotted what Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford did immediately after his side scored a dramatic equaliser in the Merseyside derby against Liverpool - and it sums him up.

James Tarkowski fired in a half-volley from close range with what was effectively the final kick of the game to secure a 2-2 draw for Everton in the final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.

The home crowd erupted and there were immediately chaotic scenes, with some supporters piling onto the pitch - and one even uprooted the corner flag and waved it above his head.

After a lengthy VAR check for a potential offside and foul on Ibrahima Konate, the goal was cleared and the full-time whistle was blown shortly afterwards.

Pickford would be at the centre of the furore that occurred after the whistle, with Curtis Jones kicking off a furious scuffle by shoving Abdoulaye Doucoure after he celebrated in front of the Liverpool supporters. The brawl is likely to be investigated by police, as per PGMOL's Keith Hackett, after a bottle appeared to hit the Toffees goalkeeper.

But fans noticed Pickford in the background after Everton scored - and it spoke volumes.

TNT Sports showed a replay of Liverpool manager Arne Slot's furious reaction to Tarkowski's strike, with Pickford just about visible at the back of the shot.

The Everton goalkeeper put in a contender for the longest knee slide of the season in front of the Main Stand before celebrating.


One fan wrote: "All timer knee slide there."

A second said: "Rumour has it he's still sliding."

A third added: "Like a kid sliding on his socks through the kitchen."

A fourth wrote: "Pickford knee slide in the background has given me the biggest smile ever."

And a fifth claimed: "The way Pickford flies into shot here is all time. Could be a top five knee slide ever."
