Leicester and Everton trade major blows but result helps neither in relegation fight

The Premier League relegation fight produced an incredible slug-fest as Everton and Leicester traded a series of major blows By the end it resembled a basketball match with either team throwing caution to the wind.

Yet both clubs were still standing at the final whistle after Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Jamie Vardy both scored but also missed other great chances. The draw lifts Leicester out of the drop zone on goal difference but Everton remain in bottom three.

It could have been even worse for Sean Dyche’s visitors who are the second-longest continuous serving club in the top-flight. They made a superb start as Calvert-Lewin notched from the spot but then trailed 2-1 at the break to goals from Caglar Soyuncu and Vardy. Everton then needed England keeper Jordan Pickford to save a tame penalty from James Maddison.
