Leicester 1-2 Everton: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Sigurdsson Stunner Gives Toffees a Crucial Win

Goals from Richarlison and Gylfi Sigurdsson helped Everton earn their first away win of the season, as they beat Leicester 2-1 at the King Power Stadium.

It was a fast start to the game, as Everton went 1-0 up in the seventh minute. There was a strong Brazilian flavour to the goal as Bernard floated in a cross, which was half parried away by Kasper Schmeichel, but £35m signing Richarlison was on hand to slot in the rebound.

Leicester pressed for an equaliser, but Everton looked threatening on the counter-attack with both Gylfi Sigurdsson and Theo Walcott having chances to double the Toffees lead.
