Rafael Benítez: 'You have to protect' the goalkeeper

Following their loss to West Ham, Everton manager Rafael Benítez expressed his disappointment at goalkeeper Jordan Pickford being denied a free-kick: 'Normally that is a free-kick. When the keeper is going for the ball and doesn’t know what is going on behind him, you protect him.' West Ham manager David Moyes, on the other hand, praised the referees, saying they "are doing a much better job than they had been over the last couple of seasons" Subscribe to Guardian Football ► http://is.gd/GuardianFootball Ogbonna sinks Everton as slick West Ham give Moyes a happy return ► https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/oct/17/everton-west-ham-premier-league-match-report The Guardian publishes independent journalism, made possible by supporters.
