Following a chaotic game that left both teams at the bottom of the Premier League table, Leicester City and Everton were forced to settle for a 2-2 draw.
The two teams entered the game in the bottom three, but a point was enough to lift Leicester out of the relegation zone based on goal differential, while Everton remained in 19th place, one point behind 17th-placed Leeds.
After being tripped up by Timothy Castagne, Dominic Calvert-Lewin recovered to score the game’s first goal from the penalty spot, just his second of the year.
The lead only lasted seven minutes before the home team equalized through Caglar Soyuncu, who calmly finished off Wout Faes’ pass.
The game was turned around by Leicester after 33 minutes when the nimble Jamie Vardy seized on a through ball from James Maddison, around Jordan Pickford, and fired home.
Before halftime, the Toffees should have equalized, but Calvert-Lewin managed to squander a clear opportunity from a few yards out after the ball appeared to strike his heel.
Then, Leicester broke down the other end, and Vardy hit the crossbar.
Pickford still had time in a frantic first half to save Maddison’s penalty, which the England midfielder hit straight down the center.
Nine minutes after the restart, Alex Iwobi guided in a low finish to tie the score for the visitors, but neither team was able to score the game’s winning goal.
