    Everton Rescue Draw At Leicester, But Foxes Climb Out Of Bottom Three

    Everton's Alex Iwobi rescued a 2-2 draw against relegation rivals Leicester, but it was the Foxes who climbed out of the Premier League's bottom three after Monday's pivotal showdown. Iwobi scored a second-half equaliser at the King Power Stadium after James Maddison wasted a chance to put Leicester 3-1 up when his penalty was saved by Jordan Pickford. Dominic Calvert-Lewin put Everton in front with an early penalty, before Leicester hit back with goals from Caglar Soyuncu and Jamie Vardy.

    Leicester, who have won one of their last 12 league games, moved out of the relegation zone on goal difference.

    The Foxes, Premier League champions in 2016, are fighting to avoid playing in the Championship for the first time in nine years.

    "We missed a penalty for 3-1, but also in the first half we were second best for long periods," Leicester boss Dean Smith said.
