Everton goalkeeper Pickford: Brentford equaliser disappointing

Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford admitted disappointment after their 1-1 draw at Brentford.

Everton blew a 1-0 lead to be forced to settle for a point.

Pickford said, "Disappointed personally, I thought we defended unbelievably, defending crosses, putting our bodies on the line and working as a unit from top to bottom.

"Everyone put a great shift in and to concede a set-piece to not win the game is disappointing considering all the hard work we'd done throughout the game.

"Sometimes you just need to dig deep and make saves and that's what I did. That's what I'm there to do, I felt comfortable all game because when the lads are defending like they are in front of you, you have to help then out when called upon.

"I don't think I was too busy because of the effort the lads put in in front of me."
