BAFFLED fans jokes Jordan Pickford was in a “different postcode” as his positioning blunder handed Mo Salah a tap-in.
Everton were broken by a rapid Liverpool counter attack after James Tarkowski’s header had hit the post.
Darwin Nunez raced free down the left wing and fired a cross into the box that looked towards onrushing Salah and Reds team-mate Cody Gakpo.
But Pickford didn’t seem to notice the Egyptian superstar as he made a beeline to close down Gakpo near his far post.
Unfortunately for the England keeper, Salah sneaked in front and finished into an empty net that Pickford had vacated.
It left the England stopper on the end of harsh criticism
