The Toffees managed to snatch the point from a draw on Saturday against Manchester City (1-1).
Everton manager Frank Lampard believes the “character, determination and fighting spiritthat his team showed in the 1-1 draw against Manchester City on Saturday is an example for the future.
His side trailed by one goal after Erling Haaland opened the scoring for City in the first half, but they came back with a spectacular strike from Demarai Gray.
«I didn’t want to see us lower our heads after a conceded goal or any other event, because when I see that, I don’t like it, Lampard said at a press conference. I asked for the opposite of that, and they gave me the complete opposite.»
After suffering a frustrating home defeat to Wolves on the final day (2-1 loss), Lampard was happy to see his players respond in the best possible way against the defending champions.
«We deserved that point and it’s an important point for us because it follows a loss to Wolves where I think we played well.“, he added.
«Coming to the champions and bringing something back when the match was difficult means a lot to us and our locker room.»
