Gary Lineker reacts to Leighton Baines’ goal for Everton against Leicester City

Everton came from two goals down to force their League Cup quarter-finals clash with Leicester City into penalties last night.

The Toffees had found themselves trailing to goals from James Maddison and Jonny Evans 29 minutes into the game, but Tom Davies and Leighton Baines drew them level in a spirited comeback in the second-half.

The veteran left-back left it late to grab his first Everton goal since November 2017, and the quality of the equaliser was well worth the two-year wait.
