From there, the ball fell to McGeady, who took a touch and – despite goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel closing him down – curled an effort over three defenders, including Ritchie De Laet on the line, and into the top corner via the right post. Leicester were not behind for long, though, as Ulloa marked his first start for the club by firing home from seven yards after Everton could not clear their lines from a corner.
McGeady and Naismith wasted chances to restore Everton’s lead but the latter made amends in the final minute of the half, lashing a deflected cross from Baines into the back of the net to delight the travelling fans. Neither side could match their first-half displays after the break, but substitute Jeffrey Schlupp did go close to equalising for Leicester.
A neat ball from Riyad Mahrez released the Ghana international behind the Everton defence but he could only blast over. Schlupp’s miss was soon forgotten, though, as Wood pounced with his late leveller.
