Comments:

League position: 11th Everton were awarded a penalty after 16 minutes following a VAR review for a handball offence. It was the first spot-kick they had been awarded in this Premier League season, so becoming the last team in the division to do so. The Toffees were now unbeaten in ten consecutive home games in all competitions for the first time since April 2015. They had now taken 902 points from their 535 home games in the Premier League (won 252, lost 137).

Comments:

League position: 3rd Leicester City had now won four of their last 16 games in the Premier League (lost seven). The Foxes remained without an away win in the Premier League since a 3-0 success at Newcastle United on New Year's Day 2020 (played five). City had now scored more than one goal in one of their last nine games in all competitions.
