Frank Lampard is happy Everton's Premier League future remains in their own hands after they moved another point clear of the bottom three with a lacklustre goalless draw at already-relegated Watford. The Toffees went into the match having lifted themselves out of the relegation zone and up to 16th - one point ahead of Burnley and Leeds - following a run of 10 points from five matches.
But Everton struggled despite coming up against a depleted Watford side who made seven changes to the starting line-up from their 1-0 defeat at Crystal Palace on Saturday. However, Leeds United's 3-0 home defeat to Chelsea means Everton are now two points ahead of Jesse Marsch's side with a game in hand3
Lampard said he was still "relatively happy" with the result, and said: "I wouldn't say I'm frustrated...I think if you can't win, you don't lose, and we were more than secure in the game. We created a lot but probably for us, we didn't have much in the final third and the final ball as we normally do.
