What a match, what a drama, and what a disappointment for both outfits after the final whistle! Leicester and Everton both were in the lead at some point, both hoped for all three points, but at the end of the day, they have to settle for nothing more than a deserved draw, 2-2!It was one of those epic games with everything at stake as both teams are fighting vigorously for safety, but this outcome leaves them with much of worries ahead of the last four games of the season. The relegation battle in the Premier League after Leicester 2-2 Everton: 15) West Ham—34 (33 GP) 16) Leicester—30 (34 GP)17) Leeds—30 (34 GP) 18) Forest—30 (34 GP) 19) Everton—29 (34 GP) 20) Southampton—24 (34 GP) pic.twitter.com/9boBwQTzyq— B/R Football (@brfootball) May 1, 2023 Straight from the kick-off, we got a true spectacle, with both sides opting for a ‘run n gun’ philosophy, creating goal-scoring opportunities every few minutes. Iwobi was the first to fire from a close range with eight minutes on the clock, but Iversen managed to get a hold of it. Maddison responded four minutes later, but Pickford showed early on what he’d be showcasing tonight at Kings Power Stadium.From there, ball went to the other side of the pitch, and Castagne’s sloppy reaction, taking down Calvert-Lewin, resulted in a rightfully called penalty for the Toffees.Dominic Calvert-Lewin converts from the penalty spot 💥 pic.twitter.com/rMcTAfNfQy— LiveScore (@livescore) May 1, 2023 The man himself, Calvert-Lewin, converted it into 1-0, but it stayed like that for less than ten minutes as Soyunchy netted with a striker-alike volley.It was just a prelude for a crazy first-half climax, which was triggered in the 33rd minute. Tielemans intercepted Iwobi’s pass, putting Maddison in a perfect position to link up with Vardy in the final third, and the veteran striker dashed past Pickford to make it 2-1, completing a total comeback of his team.First goal for Jamie Vardy as a starter this season.Sweet goal!!!!! pic.twitter.com/cc22kI83rd— Oladimeji Oshode (@OlaThrill) May 1, 2023 And even then, it was far from over.Calvert-Lewin missed a horrible sitter from not more than three yards, launching a counter on the other side of the pitch, but Vardy’s wonderful solo run ended on a crossbar.Sensational Barclays pic.twitter.com/YYmhPjhmkm— Footalyse (@footalyse) May 1, 2023 Finally, in the 51st minute of the first period, Keane’s handball was rightfully sanctioned. However, Maddison’s effort from the spot was so woeful that Pickford denied it by standing still on the line. The second half was not as crazy as the first one, with Iwobi hitting it low to return the match to a stalemate just in the moment when it seemed the hosts are closer to scoring another one.Leicester City vs Everton had a combined expected goals of 6️⃣.7️⃣7️⃣ The highest of any Premier League game this season 💥 pic.twitter.com/NXB2Nh2HlQ— Football Daily (@footballdaily) May 1, 2023 Not only it stayed 2-2, but when Everton’s Doucoure fired from mid-range near the stoppage time, almost the entire stadium went silent before Iversen saved it marvellously to prevent a shocking defeat. Sean Dyche’s side are now sitting in 19th position with 29 points, while Leicester are joint 18th with a sole point above the Toffees.PREMIER LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 34Saturday Crystal Palace – West Ham 4-3 (3-2)/Ayew 15, Zaha 20, Schlupp 30, Eze 66 pen – Soucek 9, Antonio 35, Aguerd 72/Brentford – Nott.
