Tielemans, Barnes strikes lift Leicester past Everton and out of bottom three

Superb strikes from Youri Tielemans and Harvey Barnes in either half gave Leicester a 2-0 victory against Everton on Saturday Night Football.

It was another special goal from the Belgian midfielder, who followed up a sensational effort against Wolves with a similarly sensational effort at Goodison Park.

On the stroke of half-time, James Maddison – who once again impressed for the Foxes – found Tielemans on the edge of the area. He controlled with his thigh before thundering the ball into the top left corner.

Everton were sloppy throughout and were punished late on as a Leicester counter finished with a second. Maddison drove down the left flank, flashing a cross into the 18-yard box that Barnes smashed past Jordan Pickford.

The 24-year-old has now scored in all four of Leicester’s Premier League wins this season.
