An in-form Leicester City side were looking to continue their recent streak as they faced an Everton side, fresh off a 3-0 win against Fulham.


Everton's star player this season, Richarlison gave the Toffees the lead just seven minutes in, as he volleyed home after some brilliant work by Bernard on the left hand side.


The two Everton summer signings linking superbly to give the visitors the perfect start at the King Power.


Jamie Vardy had a huge chance to equalise for the hosts, when he raced away but couldn't find the target. Unlike him.


However, Leicester did equalise just under 40 minutes into the match when Birthday Boy, Pereira was running down the left, cutting in on his right foot and firing past Jordan Pickford.





In the second-half, Wes Morgan was sent off for the home side when he received a second yellow card for his foul on Richarlison.


Morgan has now been sent off in two of his last three Premier League games for the Foxes.


Everton quickly made their man advantage count, when Sigurdsson's Cruyff Turn and then sends a rocket past Kasper Schmeichel from 25 yards out!




The Toffees from then on saw the game out pretty comfortably and the man difference was evident in the two team's performances.


Everton are up to 10th, whilst Leicester move down to a place above them in ninth.
