Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford has been getting mocked on social media after he grabbed an opposition player by the shirt.
The bad tempered moment came in the 57th minute after Gylfi Sigursson put the Premier League side in front against Lincoln City, completing a comeback after going behind 1-0 after 20 seconds, with help from Lucas Digne’s wonderful 30-yard free-kick.

After scoring from the spot, the Icelandic international then decided to run into the goal to get the ball back, something rarely seen with the team winning and not behind or drawing.
Whilst a scuffle took place inside the goal, Pickford decided to run the full length of the pitch to get involved, before having a row.
Take a look at the video going viral below…

New summer signing Alex Iwobi put Everton back in front with 10 minutes left to play, and it looked increasingly likely the Imps were on their way out, with their players tiring out.
Then Richarlison made it 4-2 for the Toffees from Digne’s cross on the verge of injury time to see out the victory.
