Jamie Carragher blasts Luton defender Teden Mengi for 'gifting' Everton a penalty with 'ridiculous' challenge on Jarrad Branthwaite with the Hatters in a relegation dogfight

Jamie Carragher slammed Luton defender Teden Mengi for 'gifting' Everton a penalty in their crucial clash on Friday night.

Mengi had hold of the Everton defender Jarrad Branthwaite during a corner in the first-half at Kenilworth Road.

The challenge was spotted by the VAR and referee Tim Robinson was advised to review the incident on the pitchside monitor.

Robinson awarded a penalty and Dominic Calvert-Lewin hammered his spot kick down the middle to give the visitors the lead in the 24th minute.

Carragher was not impressed by the challenge.
