Everton winger Anthony Gordon insists he didn't deserve to be booked for diving during defeat at Liverpool.

Gordon twice had shouts for penalties waved away, with his first leading to a yellow card for diving.

He said, "We can't fault our efforts. It's a tough place to come.

"[The plan was] just to make it difficult for them. They're in really good form. Throw them off a bit and hopefully take our chances but unfortunately they scored two goals.

"I had a couple where I could have done better. I'll work on it and become better.

"We stuck in. We stuck together. It was a good performance for a lot of the game but they showed their quality in the end."

On his booking for diving, Gordon added: "I don't think it's a booking. I felt contact so I went down. I can see why he didn't give a penalty but it wasn't a yellow card for me."
