Everton: TNT Sports pundit lashes out at James Tarkowski and Ben Godfrey versus Manchester United

Following Everton‘s loss to Manchester United, Owen Hargreaves criticized James Tarkowski and Ben Godfrey.

The pair came under fire from the TNT Sports pundit after they both missed penalties during Saturday’s game at Old Trafford (9 March).

After two fouls against Red Devils star Alejandro Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes and Marcus

Rashford scored from the penalty spot to give the home team a 2-0 victory.

According to the official Premier League website, Hargreaves stated, “They’re ridiculous challenges.”

“I tell my son’s squad to keep moving forward. Sean Dyche will be incensed by these awful difficulties.

Tarkowski and Godfrey certainly cannot take all of the blame for the defeat in

Manchester, but the pair will be disappointed to have both given away spot-kicks at Old Trafford.

That said, their teammates didn’t exactly step up, with the Everton forwards in

particular set for a few harsh words from Sean Dyche given their failures to find the back of the net.

The home side were not at their best, but Erik ten Hag will be delighted

with the three points, which keeps them in the running for the Champions League places.

The Toffees meanwhile could have really done with at least a point on the road, with the Merseyside outfit still heavily involved in a Premier League relegation battle.

Due to FA Cup and international action, Dyche’s side now must wait until the very end of the month for a chance to bounce back, with the Toffees travelling to the south coast to take on Bournemouth on 30 March.
