More replies 1 down. I don't normally get on Rogers case, BUT Stevie Wonder could see we had nothing to carry the ball in the final third and deliver Come on Brendan, React quicker and inject some urgency Still passing it across the back 4 on 86 mins Well played Everton, did your homework and deserved the win.

The visitors' attacking ambitions were limited though with goal Calvert-Lewin offering nothing more than an outlet as the Toffees sat back and managed the game.

Tielemans dragged wide and Maddison curled over after 65 minutes as Leicester continued to probe but there was still little tempo to the hosts - or a suggestion they would find a leveller.

They had barely been in Leicester's box but won a cheap corner and Schmeichel brilliantly denied Michael Keane's glancing header from Gylfi Sigurdsson's delivery.

The ball fell for Calvert-Lewin but Schmeichel's superb stop turned his strike onto the bar only for Holgate to gobble up the rebound from close range.

Sigurdsson shot over before Leicester thought they had grabbed a lifeline with seven minutes left. Ayoze Perez went down under Andre Gomes' tackle and referee Mason initially awarded a penalty, only to reverse his decision after checking the monitor.

That whack that the Brazilian took around his ankle from Ndidi has forced Everton into a change. Introducing a midfielder for the striker is no doubt intended to stem the flow that Leicester have get going in the second half.

Their passing is sharper and smarter. Everton are having to strain harder to keep them at bay. A booking for the midfield, some treatment for the striker.

Leicester have changed all right! Their substitute gets them back in the game thanks partly to a lucky break. Tielemans floated a pass into the area, which Vardy helped on.

Game on! Justin tries to block it and is knocked over! The changes trajectory to much that Schmiechel has to scramble across to the other side of his goal and tip it out for a corner.

That was quite accomplished from Everton. They took the lead through a well worked goal, then got a lucky break with a penalty for a handball by Ndidi.

Only twice have Leicester picked a way through the middle: the first time resulted in a shot by Tielemans being blocked, and the second one ended with Pickford making a fine save to deny Vardy.

Updated at 6. Everton look sharper. The performance was really good. You cannot beat Chelsea without a good performance. Defensively we were really good.

I think we were really well organized with defenders and midfielders. The way the team fought was top-class.
