Frank Lampard names 'main issues' Everton had in Tottenham Hotspur thrashing

Frank Lampard has lamented the "clear" defensive mistakes that his Everton side made as they were humbled 5-0 away to Tottenham Hotspur.

An own goal from Michael Keane began the rout in north London 14 minutes in, before Heung-Min Son added a second only three minutes later.

Before the break Harry Kane bagged a third for his side - before Sergio Reguillon added a fourth just after the interval with the England international striker later completing his brace in the 55th minute.

For each of the goals, Lampard believes that his side's defensive problems were clear to see.

He said: "The main issues tonight were football issues, mistakes and bad defending for the goals. It's quite clear.

"It wasn't just the defensive situations, at the top end of the pitch we didn't show enough and that was from the early part - even when we were in relative control.

"Tottenham, the way they play, are very organised. They defend deep and block areas for you.

"There were big footballing mistakes that cost us, rather than home or away. If you make those footballing mistakes against top offensive players then you're going to concede."

Everton had put in a strong display against Man City, but couldn't have looked more different in Monday night's defeat.

And Lampard believes his squad created their own problems by not stopping the Spurs counter-attack, which they had discussed would be the case.

"I mean, it's night and day [from Man City]," the Everton manager added.

"Really good last week in terms of discipline, gameplan, work ethic.

"We started the game well today, in the first 15 minutes it looked like I wanted it too. We controlled a lot of the possession.

"The crucial part of Tottenham's game as a counter-attacking team was to find spaces in
