Unlikely Everton duo respond to Frank Lampard message in Manchester United win

Your Everton morning headlines for Sunday, April 10.

Frank Lampard has found two 'undroppable' players as new signing 'arrives

Well, well, well - who would have thought this? Ask Evertonians a few weeks ago who two of the real stand-out performers would be in a crucial home win over Manchester United, and how many do you think would have highlighted both Fabian Delph and Alex Iwobi ?

Both were signed in the same summer transfer window back when Marco Silva was manager, and how long ago does that seem now? While they had promising beginnings to their early games on Merseyside, they eventually succumbed to a wealth of individual issues which held the pair back.

But in this current Everton system and setup something is notably different, for Iwobi especially. One of the biggest success stories of Frank Lampard 's brief time in charge has been the improvement shown by the Nigeria international - and matches such as this fantastic display against United prove it.

Fabian Delph reveals Frank Lampard half-time message after Everton win over Manchester United

Fabian Delph has revealed the half-time message delivered by Frank Lampard during Everton's meeting with Manchester United was to simply 'stay in the game'.

The Blues found themselves one goal ahead at the interval courtesy of Anthony Gordon's deflected effort which beat David de Gea in the 27th minute of the match. Frank Lampard's side still had it all to do after the break, though, with the visitors waiting to hit back in the second half.

Everton managed to keep the Red Devils at bay in the end after a much-improved display, which was inspired by a returning midfield duo.

Allan was back in the team after serving his three-match ban while there was also a first start since December for Fabian Delph, who has missed much of the campaign through injury. The former Manchester City man impressed right up until being withdrawn in the closing stages, having been spurred on by a determination to right the wrongs of the 3-2 defeat to Burnley.
