Frank Lampard makes Leeds United and Everton comparison in relegation battle

Frank Lampard has claimed that Everton's relegation situation is no different to Leeds United's after the Toffees boss reflected on their 3-2 defeat against Burnley. The Clarets came from behind to claim all three points at Turf Moor in what was billed as a 'six-pointer' on Wednesday night.

Nathan Collins gave Sean Dyche's side the lead inside the opening quarter of an hour, before Richarlison's quick-fire brace put Everton ahead going into the break. However, an inspired half-time team talk from Dyche saw the Clarets turn the game on its head as Jay Rodriguez and Maxwel Cornet both struck to earn a precious win.

The result leaves Burnley a point and a place behind Everton in the Premier League table, with Leeds United five points above the Toffees but have played two more games than both teams. It is poised to be a tense run-in given that Watford aren't exactly cut adrift either and have some favourable fixtures to play.
