Lampard has been acting as interim Chelsea manager for the past six weeks and revealed he was delighted that Everton have survived.
Speaking to the BBC, Lampard said: “I’m really happy for Everton. I know there are people who care about that club; fair play, it is a huge football club and deserves to be in the Premier League.
