Frank Lampard has made an impressive start to life as manager of Everton FC.
The 43-year-old bounced back from a disappointing defeat against Newcastle United as the Toffees thrashed Leeds 3 - 0 over the weekend.
The new Blues boss left the field to thunderous applause from the Goodison Park faithful after the display and seems to be enjoying his time on Merseyside.

Away from the pitch, Frank is married to television presenter Christine and she is equally thrilled about her husband's new role.
A source told OK! Magazine : "Christine is really thrilled about it because it makes Frank happy. He’s been busy with other work, but he was really keen to get back into a manager role.
"Christine knows it’s his passion and his dream, and it’s what he’s good at, so she’s delighted."
The two met back in October 2009 at the Mirror's Pride of Britain awards - and Christine has previously branded their first conversation as an "awkward introduction".
According to Mirror Online, she said: "There was an awkward introduction at the party afterwards.
"Frank came over and said, ‘I watch you on The One Show’.
"And I said, ‘No you don’t! Who was my guest last night?’ And he was able to tell me.
"I just laughed and we both giggled about it. And then that was it. He somehow got my number and I had a withheld-number call on my phone on the way home. I picked up and it was him.
"I said, ‘Wow, you’re keen!’ as a bit of a joke, and we chatted and he said he enjoyed meeting me and would like to stay in touch. It was very relaxed."
Christine almost didn't make it to the ceremony as she had to head there straight from The One Show studio, but their love blossomed that night and the rest is history.
The 43-year-old continued: "He went away with England the next day so I didn’t see him for a couple of weeks. But we spoke on the phone every single night while he was away and one night we spoke for four hours.
"So by the time we met again which was a couple of weeks later, we’d done all the awkward chats. I knew straight away it could be serious because I knew we could be mates and he made me laugh and we laughed a lot on the phone."
Frank and Christine's relationship has gone from strength-to-strength and the couple married on December 20, 2015.
The two had been engaged since 2011 and tied the knot in a luxurious ceremony at St Paul's Church in Knightsbridge.
Frank and Christine welcomed their first child into the world, named Patricia Charlotte Lampard, back in September 2018.
Christine announced the birth of their son in a heartwarming post on Instagram last year.
She said: "Let us introduce you to our newest addition. ..Frederick (Freddie) George Lampard! We are completely in love."
Christine thrilled fans as she shared a photo of Patricia and Freddie wearing the famous Royal Blue shirt after Everton defeated Brentford in Frank's first game in charge.
She said: "That was a good day! Thank you to everyone at @everton football club and to all the fans we met for making us feel so welcome and part of the family."
Fans flooded the comments to welcome the Lampards to Everton.
The official club account said: "Delighted to have you on board, Lampards!"
KT added: "Welcome to the city and the fam!!! "
Louise posted: "Beautiful - welcome to the blues."
Steph commented : "Welcome to Everton so glad the kids enjoyed it. Once Goodison gets you, you're hooked for life."
Gail messaged: "You Lampards are a breath of fresh air. Welcome and thanks for coming."
Marisa said: "Welcome to the @everton family.. glad you all had a lovely day x"
