Frank Lampard has admitted that Everton's dramatic late point earned against Leicester City could be psychologically key in the coming days of the relegation battle.
After the Blues struggled in the opening stages on Wednesday evening at Goodison Park and conceded to Harvey Barnes' early strike, Richarlison scored in added time at the end of the match to save what could be a valuable draw. That put Lampard's side four points ahead of Burnley once more at the bottom of the table with both sides having played the same amount of games.
The Clarets are in action on Thursday as they take on Southampton at Turf Moor, but even a victory for them won't elevate them above Everton in the Premier League standings. And Lampard admitted that could be crucial for his side, especially considering the difficult fixtures they have on the horizon.
