CLOSE! Castagne's first cross was a good one, but Vardy's flick-on was off target. Leicester recycle it though, working it back out to the Belgian, and he picks out Barnes this time. He glances his header on, but it's just wide of the far post.

Another counter-attack for Everton sees Gordon released down the right and this time, he squares it into Richarlison. The ball bounces up against Castagne, with some half-hearted shouts for handball from the fans, before the Brazilian hits his follow-up shot against the defender.

GREAT SAVE! Barnes cuts inside from the left before firing a low shot towards the far bottom corner from the edge of the box. Pickford gets down to push it away and he's furious with his defenders for not closing Barnes down quicker.
