Richarlison rescues point for Everton

Richarlison's stoppage-time equaliser earned Everton a 1-1 draw with Leicester at Goodison Park and a priceless point in their battle against relegation.

Harvey Barnes's fifth-minute strike looked to have condemned the Toffees to a demoralising third consecutive and eighth home Premier League defeat of the season.

Richarlison squandered two gilt-edged chances to haul Everton back into contention but, after Leicester passed up countless opportunities to wrap up the victory, the Brazilian more than made amends in the second minute of added time when he found the far corner to spark jubilant scenes at a restless Goodison.

The draw sees Everton establish a four-point lead with seven games remaining over relegation rivals Burnley, who host Southampton on Thursday live on Sky Sports, while Leicester stay ninth having seen three points slip away in added time in their previous two league outings.

The rigours of Leicester's domestic and European campaign - which reached the 49-game mark at Goodison - forced Brendan Rodgers to shuffle his pack with a Premier League season-high seven changes, but it didn't show.

Only a last-ditch Seamus Coleman challenge prevented Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from slotting Leicester ahead inside the opening minute, and it wasn't long before the breakthrough came, with Barnes firing in off the post after Kelechi Iheanacho's blocked shot from James Maddison cutback fell into his path.

Everton should have drawn a line under their lethargic start just after the quarter-hour when Anthony Gordon's whipped cross put an equaliser on a plate for Richarlison, but with the Leicester goal gaping in front of him, the Brazilian somehow shanked wide.

It took until the final throws of the half for Everton to muster
