Leicester City’s wait for a first Premier League victory goes on but they fought back to claim a draw in a low-quality affair against expected relegation rivals Everton.
Amid an intense thunderstorm at the King Power Stadium, City struggled for an hour and were staring at a defeat to the bottom-of-the-table Toffees, with Iliman Ndiaye making the visitors’ early threat count with the opening goal. But as the rain began to subside, City fought back.
Everton arrived at the King Power Stadium without an away win since last December, but made the quicker start, with Jesper Lindstrom volleying wide early on as City’s defence were pulled apart. A goal did arrive shortly after.
James Justin struggled to keep up with Ndiaye, and the summer signing’s movement earned him half a yard to receive Ashley Young’s sharp pass. He jinked inside and then struck low from 18 yards, the ball sneaking past Mads Hermansen via the Dane’s right-hand post.
