JAKARTA - Everton's 1-0 victory against Newcastle was a good signal for a team that had recently been hit by successive defeats. However, this sweet moment did not end well for the coach, Frank Lampard.

The reason is, in the midst of celebrating the team's victory, Lampard actually suffered a fracture in his left hand.

The painful incident was probably experienced by the coach during Iwobi's goal celebration.

However, Lampard does not care about the pain he is in because the three points for the team are more important to him. In the video interview after the match, it was seen that the left hand near Lampard's pinky was swollen.

“I broke my hand celebrating a goal. I'm just relaxed because we got the three points," Lampard said in a video posted on Everton's official Twitter.

"Maybe (broken) celebrating the goal. I didn't realize it at the time, but after the game, I felt a little swelling there. Hands trembled a little, but that's okay. I don't care," continued the coach with a smile.

The pain from the fractured bone experienced by Lampard seemed to have disappeared along with Everton's victory. That's because when you host Newcastle United at Goodison Park, Friday, March 18, WIB, the host has a high target to win after losing four consecutive Premier League matches and getting them closer to the relegation zone.

This match against Newcastle did not go easy and almost made Everton despair. Because, until normal time no goals were created for both teams until finally the 'miracle' occurred during injury time.

At 90+9 minutes, Alex Iwobi managed to break the deadlock by breaking into the Newcastle goal. This 1-0 lead score also lasted until the referee blew the long whistle.

The three points secured over Newcastle have made Everton bagged 25 points and sit in 17th position in the Premier League standings.
