In the early morning of February 13, Beijing time, the 25th round of the Premier League ended a match, and Everton won 3-0 at home to Z United, winning the key 3 points on the road to relegation. It is worth mentioning that this is also Lampard's return to the Premier League team, after a gap of 391 days to win the league.
At the end of January, Lampard took over Everton's coaching whip and returned to the Premier League team. Although Chelsea's experience has not been a success, Lampard's coaching ability has been recognized. Whether it is derby County, the team that has previously led the LinkedIn championship, to rush into the play-offs, or to dig up young players such as Mount and James, these are good coaching results.
Previously, under Benitez, Everton had very bad results and has now become a relegation team in the league. After taking over the team, Lampard's first game was the FA Cup, and the Toffee won 4-1 over Premier League promotion Mabrandford, which gave Lampard a start to coaching.
However, in the last round of the league, Everton lost 3-1 away to Newcastle, which is also near the relegation zone, which further reduced their league performance. Facing Leeds United led by Bielsa, if Lampard is still unable to win, they may even fall into the relegation zone.
For such a crucial match, Lampard sent a 442 formation, with LeWin and Risalisson at the top as two strikers. It is worth mentioning that Van de Beek, who came on loan from Manchester United, made his home debut at Goodison Park. On the Leeds United side, their results this season have slipped significantly and they are now fighting for relegation.
Just one minute after the opening, Everton had a good chance to break the goal. However, Godin missed a good one-handed opportunity in the case of interference. However, after 10 minutes, Everton still managed to take the lead. Lewin delivered an assist, Coleman hit the ball and the Toffee broke the deadlock. It is worth mentioning that this is Coleman's second goal in a Premier League game in 3 years.
The trailing Leeds United did not hold on, but they lacked some luck. In the 18th minute, Rodrigo stopped the ball on his chest, but unfortunately his shot hit the crossbar and popped up. Everton, who escaped the attack, scored again three minutes later. Relying on a corner kick opportunity, Keane jumped high and scored with his head hammer. It is worth mentioning that it was The 336th header scored in Everton's Premier League history, tying the feat of Manchester United, and the two sides are the teams that have scored the most headers in premier league history.
Seeing the team concede two goals in 11 minutes, the old coach Bielsa looked dignified, and he did not seem to have much to do in the face of Leeds United's decline this season. Just before the end of the half, Rodrigo hit the frame of the goal with another kick, and it was clear that luck was on Everton's side.
In the second half, the rhythm of the two sides was relatively smooth. In the 55th minute, although Van der Beek fell to the ground injured, the overall problem was not big. With Risalisson's final-minute goal, Everton also killed suspense ahead of schedule. Leeds United, who were three goals behind, ultimately failed to score. At the end of the match, Everton won 3-0, and Lampard won the Premier League game again after more than a year.
