Everton manager Frank Lampard is not paying any attention to the club’s precarious position in the Premier League table as he has seen enough from his players to believe they will be fine.
A harsh 1-0 defeat at home to leaders Manchester City left his side one place and one point off the bottom three, although they have games in hand on the three teams immediately above them.
Despite a determined defensive effort, Everton were undone by a mistake which saw Michael Keane miss a deflected cross in the six-yard area to allow Phil Foden to score in the 82nd minute and then were denied a penalty when VAR ruled there was insufficient evidence to penalise Rodri for a handball.
