Frank Lampard explains what frustrated him most about Everton's defeat to Manchester United
Frank Lampard pointed to a lack of composure and difficulty in winning second balls as he highlighted his frustration at Everton's defeat to Manchester United.
Goals from Antony and Ronaldo helped the away side leave Goodison Park with all three points and end Everton 's run of six Premier League games without defeat.x
Speaking after the match, Lampard pointed to the first half performance of the Blues as a key factor in the defeat, including individual errors that paved the way for both of the away side's goals. Alex Iwobi had given Everton an early lead but the home side failed to build on that foundation and struggled to provide any influence, particularly during the first 45 minutes.
Referring to the loss of possession that led to both of United's goals, Lampard said: "The frustrating point from our point of view is that we allowed that and then you are fighting to get back into the game. There was good spirit at the end - crosses and corners at the back end of the game and good spirit - but the way we have been going I am slightly disappointed with that first half."

Everton suffer Anthony Gordon blow for Tottenham Hotspur trip
Anthony Gordon will be suspended for Everton’s trip to Tottenham Hotspur next Saturday after being booked in the 2-1 defeat against Manchester United at Goodison Park on Sunday night. The 21-year-old was cautioned in the 63rd minute for a challenge from behind on Bruno Fernandes, catching the Portuguese international with his follow-through, before being withdrawn by Frank Lampard four minutes later as Dwight McNeil entered the fray.
It was Gordon’s fifth yellow card of the season after also going into the book against Nottingham Forest, Brentford, Leeds United and West Ham United and ensures he will now serve a one-match ban as the Blues go to north London. He has featured in all nine of Everton’s Premier League matches to date this season, starting eight and coming off the bench at Southampton after suffering illness ahead of the visit to St Mary’s while also scoring two goals at Brentford and Leeds United.
