Everton boss Frank Lampard hit out at ref Stuart Attwell after defeat against Liverpool.
Anthony Gordon appeared to be brought down by Liverpool defender Joel Matip in the 53rd minute when the Merseyside derby was locked at 0-0 but Attwell, who had earlier booked the Everton youngster for diving, was not moved.
"It is a penalty in the second half," said the Everton manager. "I don't think you get them here.
"If it is Mo Salah at the other end, you get a penalty. I have played in teams in the top half of the league, you get them."
Everton are now two points behind Burnley with a game in hand but Lampard is adamant his team will hold their nerve.
"This result doesn't change it," he said. "I expected Burnley to get a result (against Wolves).
"We have six games to their five. The penalty is the disappointment. In the cold light of day I think it is a penalty."
