Frank Lampard was meant to steady the Everton ship but the Toffees now find themselves hurtling even quicker towards relegation... their current points tally is their worst in top-flight history and other stats show they're hurtling in the wrong direction

Everton are in serious trouble. If they didn't know it before, they do now. Monday night's chastening defeat by Tottenham has left them in deep trouble, looking over their shoulders at the relegation zone below.

Defeat by Antonio Conte's men was alarming in every sense - from the 5-0 scoreline, to the individual errors, to the sheer lack of effort from some in blue.

Frank Lampard took charge in January with a view to steering the club in the right direction after a steep drop-off in form under Rafa Benitez.
