Everton manager Frank Lampard did not want to make comparisons with his side’s latest defeat at Tottenham Hotspur to last season’s horror show as he admitted that they still have plenty of room for improvement.
The Blues were thrashed 5-0 in the corresponding fixture back in March with all the goals coming in the first hour but held their high-flying hosts for a similar time period on this occasion before eventually being beaten 2-0.
Lampard said: “I don’t think it’s a comparison between the two - the facts of the game are if we finish our chances we could be one or two nil up in the first half. We restricted them, considering what Tottenham usually do here, to not much in the first half.
