End of 2nd Half
FULL TIME
Leicester's barren run of form continues after the restart and they loosen their grip on third with Chelsea and Manchester United lurking,
Everton's smash and grab six minutes in the first half was enough to secure victory, doing brilliantly to survive a second-half onslaught. They're still in with a shout for a Europa League spot.
Kudos to Michael Keane, our Man of the Match tonight after a wonderful defensive performance.

90+5'
Michael Keane has made 12 clearances today. More than any other player in a Premier League game this season.
He makes another at the death.
Hero.
90+2'
CHANCE!
Vardy does brilliantly to make space down the right and he finds Perez in the box, but the Spaniard knocks it a yard wide!
Was that the chance?
90'
Ouch!
Bernard and Evans take a huge chunk out of each other in a 50/50.
There will be SIX added minutes.
88'
To be fair to Everton, they're running around like it's the opening five minutes. They look desperate for the win and they'll be shattered when this is over.
Coleman gets away with one as the ball looks to have hit his hand in the box. Would've been unfortunate as he was about a yard away from where the cross was played.
85'
Coleman beautifully controls a ball over the head of Maddison before making a mess of his next touch and giving it away.
Neither side has much in the way of structure right now, it's all a bit messy in midfield and Everton will like it that way.
Leicester cannot find an attacking rhythm.
81'
10 minutes left.
Gray comes on for the 75th time as a substitute in the Premier League. Tielemans makes way.
Leicester going for it!

Davis and Calvert-Lewin adventure forward but there's little in the way of support.
Gordon - who grabbed the assist for Richarlison's opener - makes way for Bernard.
78'
A drop ball for Leicester and no one is quite sure why. Old school though.
Leicester push forward again - they have 17 goals in the last 15 minutes of games this season... Everton grinding their way through this one.
75'
Everton struggling to leave their half because they're playing so deep. They're attracting pressure but at the same time playing such a deep line keeps Vardy quiet because he can't get in behind. He's barely had a sniff.
Pickford picks up a yellow for time wasting.

It's all kicking off!
First, Pickford fumbles a routine take and almost puts it into his own net but for a Coleman clearance off the line.
Then, Maddison has another go from distance and it's a yard over the bar.
62'
Maddison weaves his way into space brilliantly but his shot is blocked by Keane.
Brilliant footwork from the midfielder.
Leicester knowing on the door.
59'
The Toffees are now 4-5-1 after that change, with Calvert-Lewin alone up front. It's a little harder now for them to get out of their own half and this could be a long 30 minutes for the hosts.
57'
Another blow for Everton as Richarlison goes off injured. Tom Davies is on in his place.

GOAL! (Iheanacho)
The substitution pays off!
It's chaos on the box after an Ndidi cross when Holgate smacks a clearance into Iheanacho's head only to see it dribble past Pickford.
Leicester have one back! Game on.
