Frank Lampard has revealed former Rangers star Nathan Patterson put his hand up to hit a penalty against Celtic in their Sydney Super Cup clash.
The 21-year-old Scotland international played the full 90 minutes of the goalless draw and then stepped up from the spot to help Everton secure a 4-2 win over Ange Postecoglou 's side. And he was in a ferocious battle with Jota from first minute until the former Benfica winger departed in the closing stages.
Patterson loved it as he fired past Joe Hart and his firm finish raised a smile out of Lampard as he saluted his charge after his strike from 12 yards out. And the Everton manager was full of praise of Patterson for seeking the responsibility of seeing off Celtic. Speaking after the match, the Chelsea icon said: "He was with his Rangers links. I was more than happy for him to take it. I like lads who stand up. Patts has got some character. He is a good lad and nicely competitive.
