Everton were able to move within four points of Leeds United towards the bottom of the Premier League table as they rescued a late point against Leicester. Richarlison’s 92nd-minute equaliser ensured the Toffees moved four points clear of the relegation zone ahead of Burnley’s clash with Southampton.
The late goal from the Brazilian could prove to be a real momentum booster for Frank Lampard’s side as they head into a tough tun of fixtures. A Merseyside derby at Anfield awaits on Sunday before a home fixture against Chelsea and then a trip to face Leicester.
Everton’s form away from Goodison Park this season – six points from 15 away games – could really hurt them during the run in. For that reason, a draw against the Foxes at home may be seen by many as a missed opportunity.
