New Everton manager Frank Lampard admits he had a day he will never forget after opening his Goodison Park reign with a 4-1 FA Cup fourth-round victory over Premier League rivals Brentford.
It was the team’s largest victory against top-flight opposition since beating West Ham by the same scoreline in the Carabao Cup in September 2020 and had supporters singing “Super Frankie Lampard” in the second half and at the final whistle.
“I can only thank the fans for their support of me from the moment I walked out and of course at the end, seeing the team perform the way it did,” said the former Chelsea boss.
“It’s a day I’ll never forget, it was very special, and I can’t help but get caught up in the emotion of that for the moment.
“We all hear about the Goodison effect and I’ve felt it on the other side and we wanted to produce that today and the players did.
