Newcastle Fans Slam Pickford as ‘Cringe’ for Post-Match Chaos
Following Everton’s win against Newcastle, Jordan Pickford faced backlash for his actions, deemed “cringe-worthy” by some. The Toffees’ ascent beyond the relegation zone, fueled by second-half goals from Dwight McNeil, Abdoulaye Doucoure, and Beto, sparked elation among both fans and players at Goodison Park.

However, Pickford’s exuberant demeanor triggered discontent among several Newcastle players, resulting in a tense post-match confrontation. Joelinton required security intervention to depart, while Pickford, visibly agitated, was restrained by his teammates.
In the aftermath of Everton’s victory, Pickford engaged in a boxing-inspired gesture before exiting the field, a moment that Everton later shared on their social media platforms. This action drew criticism from rival fans, who disparaged his behavior as “cringe” and advised against further exhibition.
