Frank Lampard credited Isaac Price with being 'the best player on the pitch' as Everton defeated Celtic to win the Sydney Super Cup.
The 19-year-old showed determination and composure as he battled in central midfield and was involved in several promising passages of play. In the second half he was the only recognised central midfielder on the pitch for the Blues after Abdoulaye Doucoure was forced off with a knee issue.
Price was supported by wingers Dwight McNeil and Anthony Gordon in the middle, but retained his cool throughout. Lampard's options in the middle were already limited due to Alex Iwobi, Idrissa Gueye and Amadou Onana being on international duty, James Garner dealing with a back issue and Tom Davies suffering a knee injury in Australia that means he will have to fly back to England early.
