Lampard fulfilled his minimum task, avoided the worst-case scenario and still kept Everton in the Premier League. Another question, I think that maybe the club's management still hoped for more, some kind of miracle, rather than a struggle for survival, when they invited Lampard to the post of head coach. And so, so far it turned out that when he started work, Everton took 16th place after the 20th round and now the club takes 16th place before the last round and can only climb one place ahead of Southampton at most. It turns out that two clubs from Liverpool fought hard until the last rounds of the championship, only one club fought to win the Premier League, and the other club fought for the right to stay in the Premier League.
The Everton fans were silent as Crystal Palace scored twice in the first half from Jean-Philippe Mateta in the 21st minute and Jordan Ayew 36. However, the atmosphere at Goodison Park Stadium changed in the second half, when Frank Lampard side turned things around by scoring 3 goals in return.
Victory over Crystal Palace ensures Everton stay in the Premier League or survive relegation. The additional 3 points made the points achieved by Frank Lampard's squad unable to be pursued by Leeds United in the last relegation position or in 18th place with 1 game remaining.
