'Best teams' - Frank Lampard makes bold West Ham claim after Everton Premier League win

Everton boss Frank Lampard has called West Ham United one of the best team's in the Premier League at set-pieces.

Prior to the international break, the Toffees defeated the Hammers 1-0 thanks to Neal Maupay's goal, condemning David Moyes' side to the relegation zone during the two-week gap between fixtures.

During the match, West Ham had 14 corners but failed to capitalise on any of them as they went their fourth league game without scoring.

Though the former West Ham midfielder is focusing on the upcoming match against Southampton, with Moyes welcoming Wolves to the London Stadium this weekend, Lampard made sure to highlight and praise the Hammers for how they attack set-pieces.

Speaking to Everton's official website, Lampard said: "West Ham are one of the best teams at set pieces and we defended their 14 corners last week so I’m pleased for Ashley [Cole] because he’s working hard on that side.

"We now want to be more clinical at the other end, score more goals, but we’re working very hard to do that."
