Kelechi Iheanacho\u2019s stoppage-time strike continued Leicester\u2019s red-hot form and piled more misery on Everton boss Marco Silva.<\/p>\nKelechi Iheanacho\u2019s stoppage-time strike continued Leicester\u2019s red-hot form and piled more misery on Everton boss Marco Silva.<\/p>\n
The substitute scored his first Premier League goal since September 2018 to give the Foxes a dramatic 2-1 win \u2013 their sixth straight victory.<\/p>\n
The hosts faced an agonizing wait before VAR gave the goal after the striker had initially been flagged offside.<\/p>\n
Gutsy Everton had looked on course to earn a point and ease the pressure on head coach Silva.<\/p>\n
Richarlison gave the Toffees a first-half lead before Jamie Vardy\u2019s 13th goal of the season leveled the tie.<\/p>\n
Leicester climbed back to second in the Premier League, eight points adrift of runaway leaders Liverpool.<\/p>\n
Everton now go to Anfield for Wednesday\u2019s derby with Liverpool two points above the Premier League drop zone and with Silva clinging on to his job.<\/p>\n
The Toffees will feel hard done by after battling performance and Djibril Sidibe flashed over early on.<\/p>\n
Ayoze Perez drilled wide and the game was a slow burner until Everton, looking for their first top flight away win since March, silenced the King Power Stadium after 23 minutes.<\/p>\n
Richarlison started and finished a sweeping move when he won the ball in midfield. It was worked to Sidibe on the right and his fine cross was met by Richarlison\u2019s thumping header.<\/p>\n
It was just the fourth goal the Foxes had conceded at home in the league this season and they struggled to find their usual rhythm.<\/p>\n
Perez\u2019s penalty appeals went ignored and Vardy got his acrobatic attempt all wrong to sum up Leicester\u2019s first-half frustrations.<\/p>\n
They only grew 10 minutes before the break when VAR overruled a penalty given by Graham Scott.<\/p>\n
Vardy tried to bundled his way through only to be stopped and, when Mason Holgate\u2019s loose touch allowed Ben Chilwell to nip in, the left-back went down after Holgate swung out a leg.<\/p>\n
Scott awarded the penalty instantly but VAR showed there was no contact between the pair and ruled it out.<\/p>\n
Leicester had only lost to Liverpool and Manchester United this term but Everton, far from being fragile, had managed to keep Vardy quiet in the first half.<\/p>\n
They grew in confidence and Gylfi Sigurdsson saw a shot deflect wide before Richarlison nodded over and the Toffees enjoyed a solid start to the second half.<\/p>\n
But Ricardo Pereira\u2019s strong run ended with Pickford saving his low effort and it was a warning for what was to come.<\/p>\n
Everton appeared comfortable, with Sidibe\u2019s deliveries a constant threat, only for the Foxes to level after 68 minutes.<\/p>\n
Substitute Iheanacho was played in on the right and his cross was tapped in by Vardy to make the visitors pay for failing to find a second goal when on top.<\/p>\n
Former England striker Vardy has now scored in six straight games.<\/p>\n
On top, Leicester went in search of a second and James Maddison steered Vardy\u2019s cross straight at Pickford.<\/p>\n
The Foxes had the momentum and former England striker Vardy should have added a second with 15 minutes left but headed over Pereira\u2019s cross from eight yards.<\/p>\n
Moise Kean\u2019s audacious 25-yard effort then almost caught out Kasper Schmeichel before the drama unfolded in stoppage time.<\/p>\n
Iheanacho was sent clear and curled into the bottom corner, only for the assistant referee to flag him offside.<\/p>\n
But VAR showed he was just onside to spark wild celebrations.<\/p>\n
