Abdoulaye Doucoure 'agrees' with Frank Lampard sacking theory after Everton beat Leeds

Everton midfielder Abdoulaye Doucoure has seemingly agreed with a fan theory over former manager Frank Lampard by 'liking' a tweet suggesting his dismissal came too late.

The 30-year-old midfielder endured a frustrating time under the ex-Chelsea midfielder as he made just two starts, coming in the opening day defeat to the Londoners before being forced off with a hamstring injury against Aston Villa. Since the change of manager, the Blues man has started the last three games under new boss Sean Dyche.

Following the appointment of the 51-year-old, Everton have won two out of their last three - including their important 1-0 win over Leeds United on Saturday - as they move out of the relegation zone. However, the latest movement on social media has potentially added credence to speculation that there were murmurs of discontent between the Mali international and Lampard.
