JORDAN PICKFORD scored an incredibly unlucky own goal to give Sheffield United the lead against Everton.
The Blades went 2-1 up courtesy of a first-half stoppage time OG from the Toffees and England stopper.

Pickford narrowly missed a rasping shot from Cameron Archer, which cannoned off the far post, with a full stretch dive.
But unfortunately for him, the ball hit his back and went into the net.
Pickford cut a forlorn figure as he contemplated his poor luck as the Bramall Lane faithful went wild.
Footie fans were quick to comment on the almost calamitous own goal for last season’s relegation battlers.
One said: “Painful.
Another said: “Hey Siri, describe Everton football club in one video.”
And another said: “Needs Curb your Enthusiasm music played over that.”
One remarked: “Oh that is so Everton.”

Another chimed in: “That is an incredibly Everton goal.”
Everton’s trip to the Steel City started well when Abdoulaye Doucoure put them in front in the 14th minute.
Their lead, however, lasted less than 20 minutes when Archer put the home side back on level terms.
Pickford’s own goal saw Sean Dyche‘s men go 2-1 down before the half-time interval.
But they got back on level terms in the 55th minute through Villareal loanee Arnaut Danjuma.
Everton currently find themselves in another relegation scrap after defeats to Aston Villa and Wolves in their first two league games of the new season.
