Everton are out of the relegation zone after a 2-1 win over Leicester City. The visitors took the lead just six minutes in when Mykolenko volleyed an effort past Schmeichel. Leicester responded quickly though and Daka took advantage of a mix-up be`tween Mina and Coleman to slot past Pickford. Holgate restored the lead, following in after Richarlison had a header saved to nod it past the keeper. Leicester just couldn't find a way through in the second half, with Pickford making a couple of great saves to keep out Barnes, who also headed just wide late on.
