Frank Lampard awkwardly responds to Everton fans' banners calling for board to be sacked

Frank Lampard was reluctant to comment after he was asked about a banner calling for the Everton board to be sacked following their FA Cup defeat against Manchester United on Friday night.

The Toffees came unstuck at Old Trafford in the third-round clash, with United advancing to the next round courtesy of a 3-1 win. Antony fired the hosts into the lead before a David de Gea clanger allowed Conor Coady to prod Everton level. Coady then put through his own net to restore United's lead in the second half before Marcus Rashford added a third from the penalty spot in added-on time.

Lampard was under pressure ahead of the match following a rotten run of form. The Toffees have now won just one of their last 12 games, but it was the Everton hierarchy, rather than Lampard and his players, who drew the ire of fans after the match.
