'Stuck in a rut' - how the national media reacted to Everton's draw with Leicester City

Everton's hopes of retaining their ever-present Premier League status were handed a marginal boost as the Blues came from behind to secure a hard-fought 2-2 draw with fellow strugglers Leicester City on Monday night.

In a compelling encounter at the King Power Stadium, the Blues led with just 15 minutes on the clock when Dominic Calvert-Lewin converted a penalty that had been awarded after he was bundled to the ground by Foxes' defender Timothy Castagne.

However, the home side turned the game on its head shortly before half-time when Caglar Soyuncu levelled with a coolly-taken volley from close range before legendary talisman Jamie Vardy rounded Jordan Pickford with ease to complete the turnaround. Leicester had the opportunity to extend their lead further when Michael Keane was penalised for a handball, but Pickford was equal to the spot-kick of England team-mate James Maddison.
