IN DANGER   Frank Lampard on brink of sack as Everton fans turn on players and board after 4-1 humiliation at home to Brighton Frank Lampard is on the verge of being sacked as Everton manager, talkSPORT understands. The legendary midfielder  watched his Toffees side thumped 4-1 by Brighton at home  then booed off the pitch by fans. Supporters also turned on the club’s hierarchy with chants of ‘sack the board’ after another humiliating night at Goodison Park. Owner Farhad Moshiri has sacked five managers in almost seven years since becoming the majority shareholder, and Lampard now has a win ratio lower than the man he replaced – the hugely unpopular Rafael Benitez. Lampard may not reach his one-year anniversary at Goodison with the Toffees continuing their slide down the Premier League table. Demarai Gray’s consolation goal from the penalty spot in added-time only sparked more chants from angry home supporters, after a catastrophic seven-minute spell at the start of the second half in

UNHAPPY   Mikel Arteta slams ‘scandalous’ decisions not to award Arsenal two penalties as Newcastle dent Premier League title hopes Mikel Arteta was outraged with the match officials after Arsenal’s goalless draw with Newcastle as he bemoaned two ‘scandalous’ penalty decisions.
