For Erik ten Hag, this was another sign that Manchester United may be at the start of something special. For poor Frank Lampard, on the other hand, was this the end for him at Everton?
In fairness to Lampard, this is not a group of players who have downed tools. They fought for their club and their manager at Old Trafford on Friday night. Ben Godfrey led the defensive effort and Demarai Gray was outstanding in attack.
Everton recovered from conceding Antony’s early goal to level through Conor Coady who was then unfortunate to concede an own-goal early in the second half.
