Frank Lampard hopes Dele Alli's cameo in Richarlison's dramatic late equaliser can be 'a big starting point for him' after slow start at Everton... but admits it was 'never going to be simple' following Spurs exit

Manager Frank Lampard hopes Dele Alli's individual contribution to the vital 1-1 draw against Leicester can be the starting point for him to ignite his Everton career.

The former England international was Lampard's first choice as a substitute just before the hour as he chased the game but it was not until the second minute of additional time that Alli made his mark.

Chasing down a ball into the corner he retrieved possession and his cross led to Richarlison scoring, which moved them four points ahead of 18th-placed Burnley ahead of their home game against Southampton on Thursday.
