Frank Lampard hails Everton's 'fighting spirit' after battling to a crucial win over Man United in a huge boost to their survival hopes but insists the Toffees still have 'LOADS to do' if they are to avoid relegation

Everton boss Frank Lampard has hailed his side's battling 1-0 win over Manchester United as they have boosted their chances of Premier League survival.

The Toffees claimed the crucial victory over top-four chasers United to pull four points clear of the drop zone.

Anthony Gordon struck in the first half to seal the winner as his shot deflected home off United captain Harry Maguire and Everton clung on for all three points thanks to vital saves from Jordan Pickford.

It was Everton's first win in four Premier League games and a good way to bounce back from a disappointing 3-2 defeat to relegation rivals Burnley last time out.
