FC guys are wondering if Jordan Pickford’s challenge to Virgil van Dijk played a role in the expulsion of Lucas Digne (1:49)

Southampton beat Premier League leaders Everton 2-0 at St Mary’s Stadium on Sunday as Carlo Ancelotti’s side became the last club to lose a game this season

Southampton took the lead in the 27th minute when James Ward-Prowse played a nice brace with Danny Ings, who provided the ball deep to his compatriot England to take a shot past Jordan Pickford

Ings returned to supplier eight minutes later when he crossed over from the left flank to find Che Adams at the far post and the anonymous striker took his time choosing his place to beat Pickford with a strike that deflected Gylfi Sigurdsson

With around 20 minutes to go, Everton were reduced to 10 men when defender Lucas Digne was sent off for a back-to-back red card after fouling Kyle Walker-Peters and Ancelotti was unable to appeal to another defender after having already made three substitutions

Ancelotti has confirmed Everton will appeal the decision, but said Pickford escaping punishment for a potential late-season tackle on Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk may have influenced the decision to punish them

« The red card was a joke, it wasn’t intentional. Maybe it was a yellow, it definitely wasn’t violent behavior, » said Ancelotti

« Maybe all this talk all week against Pickford, against Richarlison (who was sent off against Liverpool) affected the decision and if so, it’s not fair »

Everton remain at the top of the table with 13 points and a healthier goal difference than rivals Liverpool city while Southampton have moved up to fifth place
