Hasenhuttl thinks the England No 1 should be serving a suspension for his "absolutely disastrous" tackle on Virgil Van Dijk in last weekend's Merseyside derby.

Pickford has faced criticism over the incident, which left Liverpool defender Van Dijk needing knee surgery and facing a lengthy spell of rehabilitation.

The incident had been reviewed by VAR, with the Netherlands international adjudged to have been offside before he was challenged by the Everton goalkeeper, and Pickford escaped any retrospective disciplinary action.

But Hasenhuttl said: "I think yes (Pickford should have been sent off).

"I also had a discussion about this. It was a horrible tackle to be honest."
