Everton And Leicester Share Points In 1-1 Draw After Storm-Delayed Clash

Amidst much underperformance, Everton managed to secure its first point of the season in a 1-1 draw against winless Leicester City as they squandered another first-half lead.

The match, which was held at the King Power Stadium, was delayed for the first time because of the thunder strike and lightning, adding to the drama of a match that a win is needed by both teams.

Sean Dyche’s injury-hit side had caused the team a two-goal merit in their last two season games, and despite winning again in the midweek Carabao Cup game they played, they were eliminated from the cup. As things turned out disappointing, they were unable to continue their lead in this game either.

Everton took possession of much of the game and deserved a win rather than a draw, but they could not due to their inability to convert opportunities into goals. Jesper Lindstrom volleyed wide early on, but Iliman Ndiaye was quick to fire in off the right post after a good pass that came from Ashley Young.

As Stephy Mavididi’s shot almost caught him out, a downpour midway through the first half made things tricky for Jordan Pickford, Everton goalkeeper. Leicester City slowly gained momentum as the second half was delayed by seven minutes.

Mavididi finally spun in the six-yard box to score the goal that made it a draw after Harry Winks’ corner, leaving the two sides in a draw after five matches.
