Everton defender James Tarkowski has hailed the impact of Chelsea legend Frank Lampard on his game.

Now a manager, the former midfielder was more known for perfectly timed runs and expert finishing during an exceptional Premier League career.

He’s clearly doing all he can to earn his chops in defensive sense, though.

Seeking to improve a leaky defence last term which conceded 66 league goals, he and the club made smart moves in the transfer market.

The Toffees picked up Tarkowski on a free and landed Conor Coady on loan from Wolves.

Ex-Burnley star Tarkowski, excelled under the stoicism of Sean Dyche, a former defender, but has admitted his game is reaching a new level with Lampard.

“It’s been incredible. The coaching is unbelievable,” he told talkSPORT.

“Obviously I knew the player he was but I’ve learnt so much in the last six months. I just feel like I’m still improving under him.

Liverpool 1-1 Leicester City: Reds fail to go seven points clear of Manchester City with lacklustre draw

http://bit.ly/2GbpR4P Liverpool missed a golden opportunity to go seven points clear at the top of the Premier League after only managing a 1-1 draw at home to Leicester. Following Manchester City’s defeat at Newcastle last night, the Reds could have put themselves in a commanding position at the summit and got off to the perfect start when Sadio Mane gave Liverpool the lead after just two minutes. But the Reds were lacklustre and let Leicester back in it when Harry Maguire took advantage of some slack defending to equalise just before the break. It means Liverpool are now five points clear of Pep Guardiola’s men but it was not the result Jurgen Klopp’s men were looking for. MORE TO FOLLOW Let's block ads! (Why?)
