LIVERPOOL, England (Reuters) - Everton manager Frank Lampard rued an early red card in his side’s see-saw 3-2 loss to Brentford at Goodison Park on Sunday, but said their Premier League survival hopes remain in their own hands.
Everton took an early lead and looked in complete control of the game until a red card for 19-year-old centre back Jarrad Branthwaite on 18 minutes turned the fixture in the favour of the visitors.
"It's pretty simple. We had control of the game. We looked like we would score more goals and win the game. The red card changes everything," Lampard told BBC Sport. "Maybe Richarlison should go down more easily with the shirt pull but no complaints about the red card, it is a mistake by Jarrad." Lampard’s side are also one point ahead of Leeds United, whose last game of the campaign is at Brentford, where they must win to stand a chance of leapfrogging the Merseyside club given their vastly inferior goal-difference.
