Follow all the action from King Power Stadium
Leicester City and Everton remain deep in relegation trouble after slugging out a 2-2 draw in a gripping basement battle at a raucous King Power Stadium on Monday.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s first goal since October, a penalty in the 15th minute, put Everton ahead but Leicester equalised seven minutes later when Caglar Soyuncu fired home.
Jamie Vardy’s clinical finish gave Leicester the lead in the 33rd minute before a manic end to the opening half in which Everton missed two open goals and Leicester playmaker James Maddison had a penalty saved by Jordan Pickford.
Alex Iwobi dragged Everton level with a volley nine minutes into the second half and both sides strove for the winner that would have given their survival hopes a huge boost.
In the end they both had to settle for a point which was more welcome for Leicester who moved out of the relegation zone and up to 16th place with 30 points from 34 games.
Everton, who have not been out of the top-flight for 69 years, stay second-bottom on 29 points from 34 games. They trail Nottingham Forest and Leeds as well as Leicester by a point.

Patterson's first involvement sees him clear a low Tielemans cross. A late offside flag against the Belgium midfielder belatedly goes up as half-time beckons.

Coleman leaves the field on a stretcher after that late tackle by Soumare. Dyche sends on Patterson in his place at right-back.

A slight delay to proceedings as the Everton physios continue to tend to Coleman. Smith takes the chance to relay some messages to Vardy and Maddison, as Dyche looks set to lose his captain on the right-hand side of his defence.

Everton captain Coleman, who has only just come back from injury, stays down after Soumare's tackle. Patterson appears to be getting ready on the touchline as the Toffees look set to be dealt a blow moments before half-time.

CHANCES! Calvert-Lewin is inches away from equalising at the other end from McNeil's low cross but Iversen makes another excellent stop. Vardy gets released by a long ball down the other end and chips Pickford, only to be denied by the crossbar!
