Overview
-By far the better side and dominated possession, Everton very resilient at the back
-both goals had an element of luck, an awkward bounce to Rodriguez who finished well and a pickford howler
-Digne OOP interesting but not nailed

First half
-leicester got off to a very bright start without testing pickford and dominated the first 20 minutes
-the rest of the first half was scrappy, lots of fouls and offsides made the game very stop start which was clearly intentional by Everton who were struggling

1-0 Everton
Digne swings and ball into no one but it bounces off Fofanas shin who otherwise had a great game, the loose ball fell to Rodriguez who produced a bit of magic to strike it home through 3 defenders, very much against the run of play

Second half
Leicester opened the pitch up more and pushed both Justin and castagne higher up, they were exerting constant pressure on Everton who dropped very deep
Tielemans grabbed the equaliser (Barnes assist) thanks to a bit of help from pickford but the goal was deserved

HARVEY BARNES
Barnes was the stand out Leicester player yesterday he was very direct and cut in centrally on multiple occasions
Image 1 Barnes gets a shot away in the box but it is pulled back for a foul
Image 2 barnes makes a run through the middle but perez can't find him

Imagine 3&4 Barnes running directly at mina who was forced to bring him down on the edge of the box
Image 5 Barnes shot saved by pickford, could have crossed but front pist area coveted

MADDISON
although quiter than Barnes madders had his moments
Image 1 maddison shot from outside the box, just over the bar but wasn't far from going top right corner
Image 2 maddison second dangerous freekick of the game both hit the wall which is unlike him

Maddison gets a shot in the box late in the game but it is blocked by Micheal Keane who came out of nowhere

Average positions
Barnes (15) and maddison (10) were Leicesters most advanced players, perez (17) played deep as a false nine and did a lot of dirty work, we can see how central Barnes played here in the absence of vardy

Last night's game confirmed my slight preference for Barnes who I believe is a captaincy option against Leeds who will give up a lot more chances than Everton, maddison is still very much and option as an advanced 10
Finally something else I wanted to mention, for anyone considering tielemans this is how deep he played first half when they game was breaking down, he is unbelievable but will drop in deep when the team needs him
