Everton keeper Pickford revisits Origi howler: We've learned from it

Jordan Pickford says emotions were running high in the Everton dressing room after his howler against Liverpool last season.

The England international will get a chance to redeem himself at Anfield on Wednesday, as the Toffees search for their first win at the ground in 21 years.

Last season Pickford dropped a ball that allowed Divock Origi to score a late winner.

Speaking ahead of his first return to Anfield since that mistake, he said: "Personally it was tough to take because I've made an error but I can learn from that, which is good.

"The most deflating thing for me is we got beaten against Liverpool, which is never nice.

"But I think it was a totally different scale of feelings in the dressing room. I feel like we gave it our all against Liverpool and with my little error, we got beaten 1-0.

"But we can learn. I think we were in the game. We had a good fair few chances where we could've scored as well. Alisson pulled off a good couple of saves so I think we were in the game all the way."
