Leicester City and their winless run in the Premier League continues as they were held to a draw by a determined Everton side. The rain came pouring down throughout the game, as both sides struggled to maintain the upper hand during the match.
Everton managed to take early control of the match, which would lead to summer signing Iliman Ndiaye getting his first goal of the season. Ashley Young recycling an Everton free-kick with the Senegalese winger beating multiple players and hitting it off of the post.
The first half would be firmly in the Toffees grip, with Leicester only having four shots compared to Everton's ten. The second half was delayed for a short time due to the extreme weather conditions across the Midlands.
The second half would begin much the same as the first ended, with the away side missing out on some big chances early on. Jesper Lindstrom almost slipped in Ndiaye on 60 minutes.
However, the home side were not out of the match yet, and after getting a foothold in the game, they were rewarded. Stephy Mavididi getting his second of the season after a defensive blunder by Everton from a corner.
The Foxes would take charge of the game after this, although the away side weren't going to lay down for them. After some back-and-forth action, the referee would blow for full-time, a point for two sides who are still looking for their first win of the season.
Leicester finished the day in 15th with only 3 points gained so far this season, whilst their opponents sit in 19th, picking up their first point of the season.
Leicester City Player Ratings:
Mads Hermansen - 5
The goalkeeper was unlucky to concede today, and whilst he didn't have too work on his hands, he made some good saves on the day.
Although, he did waste possession at times with long balls with seemingly no target, which let him down slightly.
James Justin - 3
Another week where Leicester fans are wondering why Ricardo Pereira is stuck on the bench in favour of Justin, who has struggled this season.
Another dismal performance from the full back where he got regularly punished by Ndiaye and Young, but will Steve Cooper want to change his squad in his next game against Arsenal.
Wout Faes - 4
After a great performance against Crystal Palace last week, Faes struggled more in this match against what many may label as easier opposition.
Mistakes with his footing came due to the adverse weather conditions and some mistimed duels meant that Faes could not have a great game.
Caleb Okoli-4
The same rating as his partner in crime, but losing a lot more duels than he won and made little to no impact in the match.
The Italian also missed a great chance to put the home side ahead early on, with his header going wide across the goal frame.
One player that looked solid that looked good both defensively and offensively, the Danish full back was solid all game.
Although not a standout performer this time around, this is a performance he can be proud of.
Harry Winks - 6
A slow start for the midfielder, who struggled to get into the game but he did grow into it with the rest of the team.
His floated corner was a key part in Mavididi's goal and allowed his side to gain a big point at home.
Wilfrid Ndidi-6
It was always going to be difficult his last performance at Crystal Palace but he still made a good impact from a more defensive position.
His ability to run forward from his own half with the ball is key for the Foxes and will lead to more goals.
Bilal El Khannouss - 3
For a signing made during the international break, the attacking midfielder looks like he only just got off the player.
A lack of coordination with his team and a lack of any meaningful interactions this game lead to a very poor performance on his full debut.
Jordan Ayew - 4
A rough performance for the winger, who did not provide enough to the team this match.
The closest he came to goal was a volley inside of the box that would be sent over the crossbar.
Stephy Mavididi - 7
A very impressive performance from the Englishman today, who was able to keep James Garner out of his way throughout the game.
His goal today makes him the joint top scorer for Leicester this season, tied on two goals with Jamie Vardy.
Jamie Vardy - 3
The striker did not have much service today, although whenever he received the ball he was never able to create anything with it.
A rough tackle in the first half left him with a knock, which he would run off during the rest of his time on the pitch.
Substitutions:
An okay game for the Argentianian, who came on 56 minutes in for the struggling El Khannouss.
He was unable to get on the ball much during his time on the pitch, only having one shot which was saved.
Odsonne Edouard - 5
Coming on 83 minutes in for Vardy, Edouard did not have much time to make a big impact on the game.
Some good passing did lead to a few chances for the Foxes, but nothing to suggest he would be starting anytime soon.
Abdul Fatawu - 5
Coming on with only a few minutes to go, Fatawu was only bought on so that Mavididi can have a slight rest in the end of the match.
Unable to do anything before the final whistle, it is a shame that the Ghanian did not make the starting lineup today.
