Seamus Coleman still sends message from stretcher to Everton fans following injury

Seamus Coleman was still determined to gee-up Everton's supporters despite suffering a nasty-looking injury that resulted in him being withdrawn on a stretcher in tonight's massive game at Leicester City.

Coming under a heavy collision with Boubakary Soumaré just before the first half was up, the 34-year-old looked to have suffered a serious leg injury. Nathan Patterson was brought on to replace the Everton hero.

Sean Dyche's side took the lead from the penalty spot through Dominic Calvert-Lewin at the King Power Stadium before goals from Çağlar Soyuncu and Jamie Vardy ensured it was the Foxes who were ahead at the break.

They even missed the chance to go 3-1 in front before an action-packed opening period was out as Jordan Pickford saved a James Maddison penalty after Coleman went off.

Despite being on a stretcher, Coleman gestured toward the away end in an attempt to rally the travelling Evertonians, who are desperate to see their side win what is, at the very least, a must-not-lose match.

Alex Iwobi scored shortly after the second half started to make it 2-2.
