Former Chelsea coach breaks hand while celebrating win against Newcastle

Former Chelsea and now Everton manager Frank Lampard has revealed he broke his hand while celebrating his side’s win over Newcastle United.

Everton, who have not been impressive in their previous matches, were close to suffering another defeat at Goodison Park against Newcastle.

It became more intense when Everton’s midfielder, Allan, was sent off, with the Magpies looking most likely to win.

But a brilliant one-two pass with Dominic Calvert-Lewin saw Alex Iwobi score a goal that put Everton in the lead in the 99th minute, sparking jubilant scenes.

The former Chelsea midfielder, in a post-match statement, revealed he caused himself some lasting damage with his celebrations.

As he joined the Amazon Prime Video punditry team after the game, he put out his hand and revealed: “I’ve broken my hand by the way in the celebrations. I’ve got the shakes

“I’ll take it for the three points! It was in the celebrations for the goal. I didn’t realise at the time and then as the game carried on I was like, ‘Woah’. I’m a bit sore there now and a bit shaky, but it’s fine.”

Asked if he cares about his hand after securing three points, he continued: “No, don’t care. It was an amazing night and it’s important we put perspective on it because we need those nights, but there’s a long way to go.”
