The English Premier League is the greatest league in the world with the strongest level of competition. It has grown in leaps and bounds in the past few years and has seldom failed to entertain. The league match between Everton and Newcastle was a reminder of the same.

The match had everything a fan could possibly want. There was a controversial red card, which VAR didn’t overturn, there was a protestor who tied himself to the goal post and there was a late, late winner from Everton star Alex Iwobi. The fans in the stands went wild after the goal, but they were not the only ones.

Frank Lampard reveals how he broke his hand

Everton manager, Frank Lampard, was overjoyed when Iwobi scored, as the club has been struggling a lot in recent months. They were threatened by a relegation battle and these three points will make a huge difference. Lampard celebrated the goal and unfortunately broke his hand in the process.

The former Chelsea manager revealed how it happened in the post-match interview.

“I don’t know, I did it in the celebrations for the goal. I think I just connected with something. I didn’t punch anything, no. And then I realised two minutes later that my hand was shaking and going a little achy. But I’ll take it for the three points,” Lampard said.

A protestor tied himself to the Everton goal post

In a Premier League first, a man protesting over new oil fields tied himself to the Everton goal post. It took almost seven minutes to remove him from the ground, and people had to use bolt-cutters to untie him. However, it did not go very well for him later as Merseyside police arrested him for pitch encroachment.

Incidentally, it was this delay that caused the match to have over 10 minutes of added time. As a result, Alex Iwobi’s 99th-minute winner was something that wouldn’t have happened without the protestor. Surely, Everton fans would thank him for the delay in the long run.
