Richarlison scored a stoppage-time goal against Leicester to earn Everton a precious point in their bid to stave off relegation.
Frank Lampard’s side were staring defeat in the face and the prospect of slipping into the Premier League’s bottom three should Burnley beat Southampton on Thursday.
But after a nightmare start to the game when James Maddison’s cross was turned in by Harvey Barnes, they turned the game in their favour in the second half with substitutes Dele Alli and Salomon Rondon playing a key role.
After Richarlison wasted several good chances, it looked as if Brendan Rodgers would earn his first win at Goodison Park.
But the Brazilian turned in a scuffed shot after 92 minutes to send the home supporters wild in delight for a point that was richly deserved for the team’s improvement if not for their quality.
His eighth goal of the season did not look like it was coming but when it did, rarely can it have been so vital given that Everton face Liverpool and Chelsea in their next two games.
The point lifted the hosts four points clear of Burnley with seven games of the season remaining.
For Leicester, who were content to sit on their one-goal advantage rather than search keenly for a second, it was a wasted opportunity with Maddison also squandering three good chances as Everton gambled for an equaliser.
The Foxes have already reached a Europa Conference League semi-final this season, but they now sit 11 points behind seventh-placed West Ham, who have played two more games.
