Carlo Ancelotti’s men had a bright start in the midweek clash as they shot into the lead with a lovely goal from Richarlison after just 10 minutes.
Lucas Digne combined well with Anthony Gordon down the left and the youngster’s low cross was swept home by the Brazilian.
The wait for a second goal was not long with the Toffees winning a penalty for the first time in the Premier League this season.
This was after a lengthy VAR check to establish that Ndidi had handled the ball ahead of Michael Keane. And when that was established, Gylfi Sigurdsson stepped up and calmly converted the spot.
In the second half, Iheanacho, without a Premier League goal since December, got the Foxes back into the game with what could best be described as a scrappy goal.
While Everton could not restore their two-goal lead, the Foxes failed to get the equaliser either; a development which puts their third place position in the danger with the chasing teams in close chase
