Everton have taken to Twitter to give the Premier League a tongue-in-cheek rebuke after none of their goals in April were nominated for Goal of the Month.

The Toffees also included a goal highlights clip from their 4-0 thrashing of Manchester United at Goodison Park on 21 April.

Richarlison put Everton ahead against the Red Devils in the 12th minute with a sumptuous acrobatic volley before Gylfi Sigurdsson’s 25-yard drive just before the half hour mark made it two.

Lucas Digne fired home a third early in the second half, a neat half-volley from the edge of the box, and Theo Walcott raced clear after connecting with Sigurdsson’s throughball to complete the scoring in the 64th minute.

However, the Goal of the Month shortlist has no Everton selections – it is being contested by Will Hughes, Eden Hazard, Nathaniel Mendez-Laing, Gonzalo Higuain, Christian Eriksen, Dan Gosling, Mohamed Salah and Ryan Babel.

As a result, the Toffees Twitter account had this to say to their Premier League counterpart:

And here is how some of the Goodison Park faithful responded:

Everton are currently ninth in the Premier League table and their next game is at home against Burnley this Friday before seeing out the season away at Tottenham Hotspur next Sunday.
