Everton destiny remains in their hands as the Merseyside club battle relegation
Everton got a vital win against Chelsea yesterday but escaping relegation remains in their hands.
The destiny of the Merseyside club Everton remains in their hands as they battle relegation with likes of Burnley and Leeds United.
Everton got vital three points against a tough Chelsea side yesterday thanks to a second half goal from forward Richarlison.
Though Frank Lampard’s Everton remains in the relegation zone but have a game in hands against Crystal palace.
Speaking after their 1-0 victory against Chelsea yesterday Lampard said: “I don’t know what is in your hands around the bottom of the table.
“If it was Liverpool and Manchester City you’d think they would win every game and then in your hands is great at that point. But are we expecting Burnley to win every game? At the minute maybe yeah! Are we expecting Leeds to win every game?
“It think it is hard to say what is in our hands and that’s because we can only control certain things – and that’s when we play.
“That’s the difficult thing about yesterday, we can’t control Burnley. We can’t control Leeds. We can only control ourselves. Of the five games we will have to control ourselves well enough to get enough points. We don’t know what that (total) is.
“My feeling is there is a long way to go.”
