That's all from Goodison Park, so thank you for joining us and goodbye!

Having now finally played out this twice-postponed fixture, these sides will meet again next month at the King Power Stadium. Everton must take on Chelsea and arch-rivals Liverpool between now and then, while Leicester host Aston Villa before tackling Roma in the Conference League semi-finals next week.

Salvaging what may prove to be a crucial point in their battle against the drop, Everton snatch a late equaliser to hold Leicester to a draw and they now have four points from their last two games - taking them four clear of 18th-placed Burnley. A much improved second half display from the home side saw them press a flagging Leicester team back, and the Toffees were finally rewarded for their persistence. Yet again, the Foxes drop points from in front, and their focus will now be solely on the Conference League semi-finals.
