Leeds came close to responding in the 20th minute with a corner but Ezgjan Alisoki's beautiful volley which was beyond reach by goalkeeper Robin Olsen hit the bar.

Six minutes later, Leeds 'chances were again wasted when Pascal Struijk's header from Kalvin Phillips' free kick was saved brilliantly by Olsen.

A two-goal loss made Leeds enter the second half with the ambition of getting up and three minutes after further action, they were able to take advantage of Mason Holgate's blunder to reduce a 1-2 deficit.

Holgate risked losing possession in the Everton area and Patrick Bamford who took it immediately sent the round skin towards Raphinha to finish with a first-touch shot into the corner.

In the 61st minute, Leeds had a good chance to equalize but Olsen was in charge with two consecutive saves on Raphinha's shot and Jack Harrison's strike.

Luck seemed to have turned away from Marcelo Bielsa's side, as another good chance they created in the 72nd minute ended with a high header from Bamford, who had outwitted Olsen but landed over the crossbar.

Five minutes from time, Everton were close to snatching their win early had Calvert-Lewin's finish not been too weak in a one-on-one situation with Meslier.

Even so, the score 2-1 lasted until dispersal and Everton took home the full three points from Leeds headquarters.
