Everton 3-0 Leeds

Goodison Park

EVERTON fans sang the name of new manager Frank Lampard at the end of a 3-0 win against Leeds on Saturday.

At that moment, the in-house broadcast of the game panned to Everton chairman Bill Kenwright, who wore a proud smile on his face on what was a rare day of happiness for all involved with the club.

The football on show hinted at more to come. Captain Seamus Coleman opened the scoring. Ask any Everton fan with whom they’d want to celebrate a goal as part of such a turnaround, and the Irishman would be top of the list.
