As it happened: Manchester United defeat Everton 2-0 but lose Rashford to injury
Manchester United cruised to a comfortable 2-0 win against Everton in the Premier League, leaving the Toffees languishing in relegation zone.
Frank Lampard has now reflected on his time as a Chelsea manager and compared himself with how he was then as we headed toward the last games of the 2022–23 season.
Lampard returns to Chelsea
The new interim manager returned to Chelsea after his departure to continue leading the squad through the remainder of the campaign. Throughout his two years as a coach, he claims to have achieved significant development.
Speaking in an interview, he said, “I’ve definitely changed and I took some things I changed onto Everton.
“You evolve, that is probably a better word. I’ve always been very open to listening, to looking, to learning and reflecting, and I’m certainly not a person who sits there and says I have all the answers. That’s probably when you level out as a coach or maybe in life.

The Nigerian says some of the new players are not of the quality to play for the Stamford Bridge outfit.
“There are things I look back on and things I feel like I’ve maybe improved, and there’ll always be things that you want to get better at.
“The results will always be in how I perform here and how I can affect the players now. I think I’ve improved.”
Lampard happy with new owners
Having returned to his former club the new interim manager discusses his initial impressions of the Chelsea leadership.
“From my conversations that I’ve had with the club now and the people that are decision-makers and running the club, they’ve all been really positive.
“They’ve been very interesting for me. I’m very experienced now in terms of working in different clubs and in terms of my playing career as well, at Chelsea for a long period then Manchester City for a year, then New York City. I’ve managed at Derby, I’ve managed at Chelsea, I’ve managed at Everton, so you get an understanding of what you feel is a club that really has a vision and wants to move forward.
