Everton slipped down into 19th in the Premier League table on Wednesday night, as Nottingham Forest beat Brighton & Hove Albion 3-2 at the City Ground.
The visitors took the lead early on, although an own goal from Pascal Gross, a second-half strike from Danilo and a late penalty from Morgan Gibbs-White gave the Toffees' relegation rivals a crucial victory.
Forest are now in 17th on 30 points, with Leicester in 18th on 29 - two points and one point ahead of the Blues respectively.
