Red-faced Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford scores a COMICAL own goal against Sheffield United after Cameron Archer's shot hit the post and bounced off his back

Jordan Pickford was left red faced after scoring a nightmarish own goal in the first half of Everton's showdown against Sheffield United.

Just moments before the half-time whistle had blown in the encounter between the two bottom-half sides, the goalkeeper inadvertently put through his own net.

A rapid counter-attack from the hosts at Bramall Lane released Cameron Archer toward the box, with the striker bending an effort against the woodwork.

Pickford, who had dived full stretch in a bid to parry out the shot, was then left helpless after the ball bounced back toward him and deflected off his back.
