Frank Lampard cut an exasperated figure as Dele Alli squandered a gilt-edged chance during Everton 's 4-0 drubbing by Minnesota United on Thursday morning.
The Toffees' second pre-season friendly in America ended disastrously as the Merseyside club were on the wrong end of a four-goal hammering by Minnesota. Summer signing James Tarkowski put the ball in his own net while Emanuel Reynoso, Luis Amarilla and Abu Danladi scored for the hosts in the convincing win for the Major League Soccer side.
It was Everton's second consecutive defeat after they were soundly beaten 2-0 by Arsenal on Sunday. Summing up what has been a troubling pre-season so far, Alli was guilty of missing a golden opportunity to get his side back in the game while they were 3-0 down.
