Southampton 2-0 Everton: Second-half goals from Stuart Armstrong and Shane Long seal Saints win to keep Frank Lampard's inconsistent Toffees side just four points above the relegation zone

What a difference a week makes. Last weekend marked delirium for Frank Lampard, yesterday he was served a stern notice of the seismic task on his hands.

His side thrashed Leeds last week but were brought crashing back down to earth yesterday with a thorough and well-deserved loss at Southampton.

A week on from being serenaded by Toffees fans and orchestrating their roars with fist pumps, Lampard cut a gloomy figure on the touchline and then admitted his relegation-threatened side lacked belief.

Stuart Armstrong opened the scoring seven minutes into the second half at St. Mary's

This is their worst points tally after 23 games since 1950-51 when they were relegated from the top flight.
