LIVERPOOL, England (Reuters) - Manchester United's David De Gea and Everton's Jordan Pickford experienced the highs and lows of being a goalkeeper after their mistakes led to both goals in the 1-1 draw at Goodison Park on Sunday before they made amends with fine saves.
De Gea gifted Everton a third minute lead when he casually hung on to the ball, allowing Dominic Calvert-Lewin to close him down and then drilling his attempted clearance into the striker -- with the ball flying into the unguarded net.
Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti said he would not be speaking to Pickford about the mistake and said the ups and downs were part of the goalkeeper's fate. But his error ensured that United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer faced post-match questions about whether the Spaniard might face a challenge for his place next season from Dean Henderson, the United keeper who is enjoying an excellent season on loan at Sheffield United.
