Frank Lampard won't forget 30 seconds that meant nothing for Everton but everything for him

Everything that really mattered unfolded in 30 seconds that will not trouble the history books but may not be forgotten by Frank Lampard.

Seamus Coleman burst his lungs to get forward. Demarai Gray cut inside. Dominic Calvert-Lewin bundled the ball in. The away end went wild. For the second time in a thrilling FA Cup match, Everton were level. And then they were not. VAR, once again, appeared to haunt Lampard just when it looked like he had a moment to savour.

On the final whistle he, with the players, went to applaud an away end filled with more than 9,000 Blues that backed his team to the end of this 3-1 defeat. They were poignant scenes as Lampard's position hangs in the balance. Yet while Calvert-Lewin's 'goal' did not count, maybe the moment did.
