JAKARTA – Everton managed to thwart Leicester City coach Brendan Rodgers' first win at Goodison Park when the two teams met in the continuation week of the Premier League this season on Thursday, April 21 early morning of GMT+7 (Indonesian Time).

Hosts Everton only won one point after getting a 1-1 draw with The Foxes. Frank Lampard's squad would have almost ended the game empty-handed had Richarlison not scored the equalizer in second-half stoppage time.

In that match, Leicester took a quick lead when the game had only been running for five minutes. Harvey Barnes scored the lead for the visitors.

Since his debut season in the Premier League in 2017/2018, Barnes is one of six English players to have recorded 20+ goals and 20+ assists in the competition. Three of the six players were Leicester players, including Jamie Vardy and James Maddison.

Leicester started the game by making seven changes to their starting eleven from their previous Premier League fixture. Neither team has made more changes in the XI between matches in the competition this season.

This draw makes Everton's place increasingly insecure. Frank Lampard's squad is currently in 17th position in the standings or only 4 points ahead of Burnley, who are in the relegation zone.

Meanwhile, the addition of one point makes Leicester safe in ninth place. Rodgers' men have 41 points and have seven games remaining.

In the following week, Leicester will face Aston Villa at the King Power Stadium on Saturday, April 23. Meanwhile, Everton will meet their city rivals Liverpool at Anfield.
