Everton 2-1 Leicester: Visitors winless' run since the restart continues after Richarlison and Gylfi Sigurdsson's goals consign Brendan Rodgers' men to defeat despite Kelechi Iheanacho's strike

Brendan Rodgers bumped fists with Carlo Ancelotti and Duncan Ferguson but, really, it looked like he wanted to punch the wall.

If this had been the best result in Ancelotti's formative reign as Everton manager, it ranks as one of the most frustrating Rodgers has experienced at Leicester. Suddenly, this 2-1 defeat has left a team that once seemed certainties for the Champions League looking vulnerable.

A dubious penalty decision might have caused debate amongst supporters but Rodgers's irritation revolved around the slovenly manner in which his team fell into a hole; Leicester have only been out of the top four once since August 24 but now the pursuers are snapping at their heels.
