Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford was brutally trolled by fans on Twitter for his horrendous error against Liverpool. Mohamed Salah scored the game's first goal in the 36th minute. However, a mistake from Pickford was the main talking point.

The Englishman was caught in no-man's-land as a cross came into the Toffees' box. Pickford attempted to stop the ball from reaching Cody Gakpo, who was positioned at the far post, but left Salah unmarked in the process. Salah had an empty goal to tap the ball into, which he did with ease.

The goal marked the Egyptian ace's eighth in the Premier League this season and 18th across competitions. He has now scored 174 goals for the Reds.

Fans on Twitter didn't let go of the opportunity to make fun of Pickford for the error. They questioned the 28-year-old's thought process in the build-up.

Everton are staring at yet another defeat as they are two-nil down after conceding from Cody Gakpo in the 49th minute. They will remain in the relegation zone should the scoreline remain the same. Liverpool, meanwhile, will move into the ninth spot if they win the match.

Here are some of the best reactions from Twitter after Jordan Pickford's hilarious mistake in the Merseyside derby:

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp termed the clash against Everton as 'special'

The Merseyside derby is a special occasion for fans of both Liverpool and Everton. Jurgen Klopp pointed that out in his program notes as he wrote ahead of the game (via the Reds' official website):

"This is a derby so we need to fight with everything we have but only in a positive way. We have to fight to play football and nothing else. This is a game for passion but it can only ever be used in the right way. Nothing else makes sense."

He further added:

"I have said before that sometimes these matches can be too intense and I know this isn’t always what people want to hear, but it is true. Intensity is a part of what we do and the reality is that we could not do anything without it, but we have to bring our other qualities too or else we will just make a difficult fixture even harder."
