Everton will still extend the problem of Rodrigo's handball incident by sending an official protest to the Premier League operator. The protest was related to a controversial decision made by referee Paul Tierney. It is known, Tierney did not award a penalty to The Toffees in the Premier League match against Manchester City last weekend. Everton felt at that time the referee should have decided handball and awarded a penalty for them. In the match itself, Everton narrowly lost 0-1 to ManCity. After the game, manager Frank lampard admitted to having confirmed that there were no offside issues prior to the VAR-reviewed handball incident. "I'd like to know [by asking the referee] if it was offside earlier, but I've been told that's not the case." said Lampard. The former Chelsea and ManCity player made a very strong statement and could result in a sanction from the FA to him. Lampard insisted the referee's decision was not just a matter of ordinary mistakes. "The fallacy is when you've done something wrong and don't have time to think about it, [but] they have two minutes to digest the handball." "Some are very incompetent. If not [incompetence], someone has to explain this matter to me."
