Everton manager Frank Lampard has been fined 30,000 pounds ($37,779.00) for criticising the referee during his team’s defeat by Liverpool in last month’s Merseyside derby, the Football Association (FA) said on Tuesday.

Referee Stuart Attwell did not award a penalty for a challenge on Everton’s Anthony Gordon and Lampard said after his side lost 2-0 that the spot kick would have been given had the challenge been made on a Liverpool player.

The 43-year-old denied the charge and has now been fined “for breaching FA Rule E3 in relation to media comments proven during a personal hearing,” the FA said in a statement.

Lampard took over at Goodison Park in January with the club hovering above the Premier League relegation zone. Everton secured their top-flight status in the penultimate game of the season and finished 16th, four points above the bottom three.
