Everton held on to overcome Leicester 2-1 at Goodison Park on Wednesday, despite a brighter second half display from the Foxes.
The Foxes looked to dominate the ball in the early stages, but it was the hosts who struck first.
Anthony Gordon raced down the line before looking up and fizzing in a low cross, which Richarlison connected with beautifully on ten minutes.
And on 15 minutes, after a VAR review, the Toffees were presented with the chance to double their lead from the penalty spot after a handball from Wilfred Ndidi. Gylfi Sigurðsson stepped up and cooly slotted home to make it 2-0.

Leicester hit back early in the second half as Kelechi Iheanacho netted a very scruffy goal to make it 2-1. The away side continued to push for an equaliser, but they weren't able to find one.
