Kavanagh failed to alert referee Paul Tierney over a handball by Rodri that would have given the Toffees a late chance of an equaliser from the penalty spot. Everton chief executive Denise Barrett-Baxendale wrote to the Premier League on Monday to ask for an apology.
It has been reported that Mike Riley, managing director of Professional Game Match Officials Limited, subsequently called both Lampard and Everton chairman Bill Kenwright to apologise for the mistakes made relating to the Rodri incident.
