Everton made it back-to-back victories with a 2-1 win over Leicester City at Goodison Park.

The host started the game strongly and within 17-minutes, they were up by two goals.

Everton scored in the 10-minute courtesy Richarlison. A lovely ball out to the left was turned inside by Digne, and from the edge of the area Gordon pulled the ball across for the Brazilian's late run to beat Chilwell and fire past a helpless Schmeichel.

Everton then doubled their lead just three minutes later with a penalty following Wilfred Ndidi's handball, which was spotted by VAR.

Sigurdsson waited for Schmeichel to dive to his left before slotting the ball into the other side.

Brendan Rodgers Leicester City came stronger but a solid Everton defense made sure they did not concede before the break.

Leicester introduced Kelechi Iheanacho as part of a half-time double-substitution, and his introduction led to a goal when he deflected Mason Holgate's attempted clearance past Jordan Pickford.

Iheanacho was then denied an equalizer by Pickford, who led a resilient Everton defense to see out the win.

The result leaves Leicester who are yet to win since football's restart - still in third but just one point ahead of Chelsea, who travel to West Ham later on Wednesday, and three points ahead of Manchester United in fifth and Wolves in sixth. Everton move up to 11th.

The Toffees move up to 11th with 44 points, level with Sheffield United.
