EPL: Leeds sink Carlo Ancelotti’s Everton
Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds United secured a 1-0 victory over Carlo Ancelotti’s Everton as Goodison Park Stadium on Saturday night.
An enthralling 90 minutes recorded plenty of chances for both sides despite just one goal, scored by Raphinha 11 minutes from time.
James Rodriguez and Richarlison had goals ruled out for offside before the break, while Dominic Calvert-Lewin dragged a big chance wide for Everton early in the second-half.
But it was Leeds who had the majority of the chances as Jordan Pickford made a brilliant save to deny Patrick Bamford, while Raphinha and Jack Harrison failed to hit the target with clear openings.
Raphinha finally made the breakthrough when he arrowed a low left-footed shot beyond Pickford from 25 yards to move Marcelo Bielsa’s men up to 11th.
A fourth defeat in five games leaves Everton still in sixth.
