"If it meant the same results, I would suffer a broken hand every week," said Frank, who broke his hand celebrating the victory over Newcastle.
Allan was sent off in the 83rd minute of the game, which Alex Iwobi won in the 99th.
As his side moved three points clear of the bottom of the table, he did it in celebration.
I just connected with something.
He said that he didn't punch anything, but that his hand was shaking two minutes later. I will take it for the three points.
The win was only their second in 13 matches, but came after a controversial sending off for Allan, which saw referee Craig Pawson overturn his decision after he initially awarded a yellow card.
After his team were denied a goal during a loss to Manchester City last month, he said he was "frustrated" with the decision, which led to an apology from the referee's chief.
We now lose Allan for three games and we hope the referees can say we got that wrong.
He said he was pleased by the night of togetherness and fight at Goodison Park.
He said that the win came after chairman Bill Kenwright gave a speech to the players.
I don't think my formations or cleverness will keep us up. It is part of the bigger picture, but it is people and the players that will keep us up.
The start of the game was special. You could feel the crowd at the Goodison game. They might have had a couple of beers on St Patrick's Day. We need fair play. They are behind us.
The fans and the players played their part if we get out of this.
The chairman came to the training ground yesterday and gave a talk to the players for half an hour.
A lot of chairman are corporate, but our chairman was a fan of the team. He takes the stick, but he and other people were there.
The chairman showed his passion for the club when he spoke to the 25 young men. It was a big deal for us.
