Frank Lampard has dismissed suggestions that Everton have been “let off the hook” by relegation rivals Burnley sacking their long-serving manager Sean Dyche.
The Blues surrendered a 2-1 half-time lead against the Clarets to lose 3-2 at Turf Moor 13 days ago but have since recovered to defeat Manchester United 1-0 before Burnley lost 2-0 at Norwich City in what proved to be Dyche’s final match in charge after almost a decade at the helm.
Speaking in his pre-match press conference for Everton’s home game against Leicester City on Wednesday night, Lampard was asked what impact Dyche’s dismissal would have but said: “Nobody knows. Firstly Sean Dyche has been an incredible manager of the club, what he’s done in the period of time there, I think that’s been quite a universal reaction to it but the club have decided to make a change.
