Colombian James Rodriguez scored with Everton, but his team was unable to hold onto the lead against Leicester City (1-1). Italian Carlo Ancelotti’s pupils took the lead in the first half, when a James-created move ended with a shot from the Colombian from the edge hitting the post and going inside. And it was with the right.
James’ fourth goal this season it made Everton withdrew and made Leicester very comfortable on the field. By dominating and creating opportunities, the ‘foxes’ found the equalizer in a shot by the Belgian Youri Tielemans low and apparently easy for a Jordan Pickford who did not get out.
Despite the draw, James was the best, and not only because of the goal, but also because of the game that was played until he was replaced by Sigurdsson in the 85th minute.
The tie leaves the Leicester third, two points behind leader, Manchester City, and Everton seventh, one point behind the European positions.
