Southampton 2-0 Everton: Substitute Shane Long scores with his first touch as Frank Lampard is brought crashing down to earth at St Mary's

Frank Lampard's Everton were brought crashing back down to earth on Saturday afternoon with a well-deserved loss at Southampton.

A week ago Lampard was being serenaded by Goodison Park, orchestrating the Gwladys Street Stand's roars with fist pumps. What a difference a week makes.

He was dealt a dose of reality and notice of the size of his task here. His side looked confused, unsure what to do with the ball and, off it, let Saints run past them with ease.

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

Stuart Armstrong early in the second half and, from there, only one result seemed likely.
