    Everton 1-1 Leicester

    Arouna Kone gets into a good position on the right corner of the Leicester area. He tries a simple pass to Romelu Lukaku, but messes it up. There are a few Evertonian groans around Goodison.

    Meanwhile, Riyad Mahrez is down.

    Riyad Marhez is looking to wave his wand and his throughball into the area looks good enough to eat - until it finds an Everton defender.

    A Leicester corner comes agonisingly close to the head of Marcin Wasilewski. It actually ends up flicking off John Stones, but the ref misses it. Goal-kick.

    And here's a look at how that Everton goal came about. It started with Tim Howard and ended up in the Leicester net (although it was given away briefly in the process).

    Interesting look at the average positions of the two sides.

    Look how wide and spread out Everton have been.

    Leicester meanwhile - compact and solid.

    Leighton Baines sends in a corner and Romelu Lukaku beats Kasper Schmeichel to the punch, literally. But the Leicester keeper's presence is enough to make sure the header is off target.

    "I think Everton deserve the 1-1 scoreline. And think... Lukaku now has a chance of passing Vardy's record!"

    I didn't even have time to tell you Riyad Mahrez has now reached 12 Premier League goals (although now I just have).

    Lukaku, meanwhile, has scored in seven consecutive games - he's chasing that Jamie Vardy record with gusto.

    "Romelu Lukaku was in the right place at the right time. Kasper Schmeichel made a terrific save from Ross Barkley's first shot, and when the rebound came to him Lukaku's finish was instinctive.

    "Everton are superbly expansive going forward but that can be a weakness - Leicester look capable of exploiting them on the break."

    Boy oh boy. Great game this.

    Ross Barkley dances all over the Leicester defence in the area but Kasper Schmeichel saves his first shot.

    Barkley tries again - off the line by Andy King.

    It falls to Romelu Lukaku, who finds the far corner with his left foot.

    "Mahrez is full of confidence. He took his time and slotted that penalty right into the corner. No question too - that was a penalty."

    "You can tell by the players' reaction it was definitely a penalty. Riyad Mahrez just stood up the keeper and slotted it in the corner."

    Ramiro Funes Mori had an arm all over the back of Shinji Okazaki as the Japanese burst into the area. Referee John Moss says penalty.

    Riyah Mahrez strokes the spot-kick superbly into the bottom-left corner. Tim Howard was close, but not close enough.

    Best chance of the game and it's fallen to Ross Barkley.

    Romelu Lukaku crosses from the right and Barkley has loads of space in the Leicester penalty area. He goes for a first-time half-volley and gets it all wrong.

    Jamie Vardy is fortunate to not go in the book here (and notch up enough yellow cards to receive a suspension).

    He flies in on Seamus Coleman and catches him a little bit up the leg. Just a talking to though.

    Marcin Wasilewski almost has Leicester in trouble as he pokes the ball to Arouna Kone on the edge of the area. But man-beast Wes Morgan is on hand to save the day.

    The persistent rain is giving it a bit more zip as well. If we can get a few more chances I'll be a very happy man.
