Everton fans were raving mad when their players went to apologise, after another embarrassing defeat to the promoted club.

Toffees fans were not pleased with the result and the team's performance, and decided to deliver a message to their players.

Lampard dismissed the reported incident between Iwobi and the fans, calling the debacle a misunderstanding.

He said, according to the Mirror.

"Alex had some friends that he was concerned about, that were sort of at the front of the fans. There was nothing in that, and the players just have to accept the fans have a right to voice their opinions."

Goals from Marcus Tavernier, Keiffer Moore and Jaidon Anthony were enough to inflict a second successive defeat on the Toffees, leaving them 17th in the table.
