Lampard: Gordon can go a really long way
Anthony Gordon also produced a standout performance against Leeds after he was credited with the third goal and also assisted Michael Keane's goal.
It meant the 20-year-old became the sixth different player to both score and assist a goal in a Premier League match for Everton aged under 21.
Lampard said of Gordon: "Has he surprised me? No, because I've watched a lot of him.
"Obviously I analysed a lot of the games before I came in to get an idea of the squad, and Anthony was a standout for me.
"I really liked some of the attributes he was showing before I came. You never know until you get here but from the first day in training, he wants to learn and listen and he wants to engage with me, my staff and team-mates.
"He has a great talent and a work ethic, and when you're an Everton lad as he is, and the fans see that in him, then that's a huge start.
"I think he can go a really long way in the game and it's his job now to keep his head down and do that. I've got no real worries about that because I can see how much he wants it and then it's my job to try and eek everything from him.
"He's young and he'll develop loads more, but at the minute he's playing outstanding football and long may that continue."
