The Chelsea legend cum Everton boss, Frank Lampard has reportedly broken his hand amidst wild celebrations of Alex Iwobi’s 99th minute stoppage time strike, to beat Newcastle 1-0 and lift the 10-man Toffees three points clear of the Premier League relegation zone, Newspremises reports.
The match witnessed a second-half interruption caused by a protestor tying himself to a goal post and a VAR review which led to Allan seeing red meant there were 14 minutes of added time at Goodison Park.
And it was Lampard’s men who took advantage as Dominic Calvert-Lewin teed up Iwobi to score the biggest goal of his much-maligned Everton career since a £40 million ($52 million) move from Arsenal three years ago.
“I’ve broken my hand in the celebrations,” said Lampard, showing off a big bruise on his left hand.
“It was a bit sore and a bit shaky but I don’t care.”
