Everton can't escape what Frank Lampard "hates" as struggles continue vs Leicester

Everton missed the chance to move six points clear of the Premier League relegation zone on Wednesday night after drawing with Leicester City.

It almost ended in defeat for Frank Lampard’s side when Harvey Barnes gave the Foxes a first half lead, only for Richarlison to tap in a late equaliser from close range in second half stoppage time. The Toffees’ chances of staying up could take a dent on Thursday night when relegation-threatened Burnley host Southampton. Should the Clarets win, they will close their deficit on Everton to just a point.

Ahead of Everton’s meeting with Leicester, the Toffees recorded a shock 1-0 victory at home to Manchester United in what was their first win in four matches in all competitions on Saturday lunchtime. However, since Lampard succeeded his former Chelsea boss Rafa Benitez, Everton have failed to record back-to-back wins.
