Everton needed only 12 minutes to take the lead. The goal scored by Ndiaye. Ashley Young (39) with the assist. Leicester mabaged to get back into the team and for the rest of the first half pressing for a goal, but attempts were blocked by Everton, as they all looked a bit soft.
Everton came out 2nd half with a bit of momentum, but it was Leicester that pushed for the equalizer, and could easily have scored esrly on, and as they continued to press, everything came to a full blossoming in the 73 rd minute.
Stephi Mavididi, possibly Leicesrer’s best player on the field, scored from close range as Leicester were even, as all Leicester players on the field made a hard shift.
The game then became a bit more open affair and often situation like this end up at in an open affair.
Leicester made a nunber if changes after that, giving minits to youvgsters such as Bounanotta, surp1risingly not having a plan for Jannik Vestegaard.
