Everton secure first point of season in draw with Leicester
Struggling Everton missed the chance to win their first Premier League game of the season when they were held to a 1-1 draw at promoted Leicester City on Saturday, with Iliman Ndiaye's first half strike cancelled out by the Foxes' Stephy Mavididi.
Ndiaye finished off a slick Everton move in the 12th minute to give them the lead, receiving a return pass from Ashley Young and weaving through two defenders to slot the ball past goalkeeper Mads Hermansen.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who has two Premier League goals to his name this season, saw his shot on a counter-attack thwarted by Hermansen before Harry Winks' corner led to a scramble in the Everton box and Mavididi fired home in the 73rd minute.
Everton are in 19th place with one point from five games, with some of their fans already fearing a fourth relegation battle in a row. Leicester sit in 15th spot with three points from their five matches so far.
