SUB: Nathan Patterson (Coleman, 45+4) - 7, Did well to deal with Maddison when he was twisting and turning, continued to defend well and also made some positive forays forward. AFP

LEICESTER RATINGS: Daniel Iversen - 9, The Dane made fantastic saves to deny Alex Iwobi, Dwight McNeil, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Abdoulaye Doucoure, also did brilliantly to reach McNeil’s cross ahead of Calvert-Lewin. Had no chance of stopping either Everton goal. Reuters

Timothy Castagne - 5, Did well to block James Tarkowski’s shot amid early chaos but then conceded a needless penalty by clumsily pushing Calvert-Lewin. Came agonisingly close to finding Jamie Vardy with his ball through and did well to block McNeil’s shot. Getty Images

Wout Faes - 6, Lost the ball too easily on a few occasions, but did well to head the ball towards Caglar Soyuncu for the equaliser. His unconvincing header fell to Iwobi for the equaliser, although he then did well to block another shot from the midfielder. Getty Images

Caglar Soyuncu - 6, Looked shaky when defending set pieces and had some poor touches, but did brilliantly to score the equaliser despite slipping. Hurt himself after catching Wilfred Ndidi while heading the ball and was saved after a poor attempt of dealing with McNeil’s cross. Reuters

Luke Thomas - 6, Appeared to panic on a few occasions and struggled to match Seamus Coleman at times. Booked for a late challenge on Idrissa Gueye but stood up well to block Iwobi’s shot and gave everything for the team. Reuters

Youri Tielemans - 7, Showed quality when he nutmegged Gueye and played the ball out wide early on, then won the free-kick that led to the equaliser and intercepted Iwobi’s pass in the build-up to Leicester’s second. Getty Images

Wilfred Ndidi - 6, Did well to keep the ball in tight areas and gave a good account of himself defensively. Saw an ambitious shot blocked. Reuters

Boubakary Soumare - 6, Often played on the front foot in both attack and defence. Was booked for the challenge that injured Coleman. Getty Images

James Maddison - 6, His overhit free-kick delivery eventually resulted in the equaliser and he slipped the ball through for Vardy to score Leicester’s second, but he was outfoxed by Jordan Pickford from the penalty spot. Booked for a cynical foul on Gueye. Reuters

Harvey Barnes - 7, Didn’t get to make as many of his bursting runs as usual, but made his mark from crossing positions, with one ball leading to the equaliser and another resulting in the penalty that was saved. PA

Jamie Vardy - 8, Made brilliant runs in behind, including one that culminated in the striker rounding Pickford and putting Leicester ahead. Turned Michael Keane inside out but hit the crossbar with his dinked attempt and even put in some good defensive work, giving everything he could for the team. Reuters

SUBS: Patson Daka (Ndidi, 61’) - 6, Made good runs behind but often found himself being halted by Vitaliy Mykolenko and was indecisive when he was afforded space in the middle. Did brilliantly to track back and dispossess McNeil. Getty Images

Dennis Praet (Barnes, 88’) – N/R, Took up some good positions and won a throw under pressure from Iwobi near his own corner flag. Getty Images

Victor Kristiansen (Thomas, 88’) – N/R, Wasn’t afraid to get forward as both teams chased a winner and picked up a booking for stopping Nathan Patterson’s run. AFP

EVERTON RATINGS: Jordan Pickford - 7, A deflection off Keane stopped him getting enough on Soyuncu’s shot to keep it out and he was given little chance of stopping Vardy, but the goalkeeper did well to deny Maddison’s penalty. Getty Images

Seamus Coleman - 7, Showed plenty of attacking intent, clipping the ball into Calvert-Lewin and getting to the byline before cutting the ball back for McNeil’s chance. Also defended well against Barnes but was forced off injured before half time. Getty Images

Michael Keane - 4, His deflection on Soyuncu’s shot made things harder for Pickford, he was left behind by Vardy for the second and then handled the ball for Leicester’s penalty. Was also turned inside out by Vardy before the striker hit the crossbar but had a more solid second half. Reuters

James Tarkowski - 6, Saw an early shot blocked and while his lazy pass before half time put his side in a precarious situation, he showed brilliant awareness to stop Vardy’s goal-bound header then tackle Barnes moments later. AP Photo

Vitaliy Mykolenko - 7, Was involved in the build-up for Everton’s second goal and played great defensively after Daka came on. Blocked Maddison’s shot. Reuters

Alex Iwobi - 7, Was unlucky to see his shot denied by a magnificent save and had some good moments on the ball. Lost possession to start the move that resulted in Vardy’s goal but redeemed himself by scoring the equaliser. Getty Images

James Garner - 6, Looked composed on the ball and moved it well but could have done with more of a cutting edge at times. Took up some smart defensive positions. PA

Idrissa Gueye - 6, Was nutmegged early on but continued to fight to win the ball back, although he shot over from a promising chance on the edge of the box. Booked for a cynical foul on Maddison. Reuters

Abdoulaye Doucoure - 6, Covered ground well, making a great drive forward and pass to set up a chance for Iwobi. Was desperately unlucky to see Iversen save his late attempt. Reuters

Dwight McNeil - 8, Saw a shot well saved by Iversen but caused trouble with his set pieces. Did well to get behind and play the pass for Calvert-Lewin’s chance, then delivered the cross that resulted in Iwobi’s goal. Getty Images

Dominic Calvert-Lewin - 7, Struggled to make the ball stick before winning and converting a penalty. His hold-up play improved massively after that but he shockingly failed to apply a finish after being picked out by McNeil and was denied again after a better strike early in the second half. Reuters
