Mike Riley, the head of the professional referees body, apologized to the team after they were denied a penalty in the loss to Manchester City.
The Toffees wrote to the league to complain about the decision when Rodri seemed to use his arm to control the ball.
Despite complaints from fans and Frank Lampard, neither the referee nor the video assistant referee thought it was worthy of a spot-kick.
The incident could prove costly to the club in their bid to stay in the top flight.
One place and one point above the 17th place, and one place and one point above the 16th place, is the fact that the game between the two teams is on Tuesday.
The referee for that match will be Kavanagh.
We have lost a point because of a professional who cannot do his job right. It is so incompetent to make a mistake, according to Lampard following the game at Goodison Park.
