Frank Lampard says he broke his hand in Everton's wild celebrations after their last gasp win over Newcastle United. The Magpies were sunk in the 99th minute with the Toffees in dire need of victory on Merseyside.
Lampard spoke of his joy after the game and said: 'I've broken my hand in the celebrations. "My bones must be going soft, I don't remember the moment. It was an amazing night and we need those nights.
"Spirit and togetherness, the players stood up tonight. It was not a night for quality or calm. It means so much to the stadium we all felt that. I wanted to use the atmosphere. Everton fans wanted to see passion."

Speaking about the red card for Allan, Lampard said: "We proved what we could be tonight. I don' t think it is a red card. It is a yellow, yes, is it a strong yellow? Possibly. But that isn't a clear error. It was the wrong decision and we lose Allan for three games."
