Everton manager Frank Lampard has explained what he asked for from his players when they returned to training after the defeat to Minnesota United.
Speaking after the 4-2 win at Blackpool today, Lampard said he re-iterated the need for improvements from his squad after what was a disappointing display to end the club's tour of the US.
And he saw an immediate reaction to his words this afternoon as Dele Alli scored twice and Vitalii Mykolenko and Tom Davies also got on the scoresheet as the Blues beat Championship outfield Blackpool. The seaside trip saw Everton notch their first goals of the summer - the 4-0 loss to Minnesota came after a 2-0 reverse to Arsenal - despite the absence of Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who missed out as a "precaution".
