Frank Lampard Enjoys Dream Debut As Everton Thrash Brentford In FA Cup
Frank Lampard enjoyed a dream start as Everton manager when his new team thrashed Brentford 4-1 to ease into the FA Cup fifth round on Saturday. The mood around Goodison Park was transformed from recent months of despair as the former England midfielder was warmly welcomed, along with new signings Dele Alli and Donny van de Beek who were paraded at half-time. Everton fed off that positivity to record just a second win over Premier League opposition in 15 games. One of the Toffees' weaknesses this season was turned into a strength as Yerry Mina and Mason Holgate scored from set-pieces, while Richarlison and Andros Townsend were also on target.
