'Ya silly Mackem' - Newcastle United fans mock Jordan Pickford's comical error at Liverpool

The ex-Sunderland goalkeeper's comical error in sixth minute of added time prevented the Toffees from earning an impressive point in the Merseyside derby, which sparked plenty of social media reaction from across the world.

Following an airlifted shot by defender Virgil Van Dijk, the 24-year-old wanted the ground to swallow him up after unnecessarily saving the shot that was heading over the crossbar, allowing Divock Origi to head into an empty net.

Among that social media reaction was, of course, plenty of Newcastle fans, who mocked his Sunderland roots, though remembered that it is the Magpies who Pickford next faces.

Such reaction brought a mix of laughter from the Geordie-faithful alongside some scepticism, suggesting Newcastle could be in for a Pickford backlash when the pair meet at Goodison Park on Wednesday evening.

Here is the best Newcastle reaction:

@jwstumpy: "Well done Jordan Pickford made my day #NUFC"
