The spoils were shared at Elland Road as Leeds came from behind to claim a well deserved draw against lowly Everton. Although Leeds were dominant for large periods of the game, the Toffee's were dangerous on the break; their pace was a constant cause for concern, and for good reason.

The visitors frustrated the hosts during the early exchanges. Marsch's men were keen to put Saturday's blip behind them, but continuous time-wasting, thus slowing the game down, had its desired effect on the Whites. Everton took the lead against the run of play after Iwobi picked out Anthony Gordon, who was advancing into the Leeds Utd penalty area. He took a touch, before dispatching the ball through the legs of Meslier. Blame will be aimed in Llorente's direction, though to be fair, Kristensen could have done a lot better.

Five minutes later, Rodrigo missed a guilt edged opportunity to put Leeds level. Harrison whipped a cross into the box, which evaded everyone, including the Spaniard. The faintest of touches could have put Leeds level. Rodrigo's night came to an end on the half hour mark following a shoulder injury he sustained during a challenge with Pickford five minutes beforehand.

Leeds started the second half brightly. Aaronson and Harrison forced good saves from Pickford, but the England shot stopper was unable to keep Sinisterra out. His long range shot from 30 yards wrong-footed Pickford, who could only watch as Elland Road erupted. There's little love lost between the two sides, especially with fat Frank at the helm for the visitors. Whilst both teams flirted with a red card, they were content to share three bookings apiece.

Leeds continued to dominate the second half, but couldn't break down a stubborn Everton side, content with playing ugly football, to ensure they left Elland Road with a point.

Llorente is becoming an enigma. In some games, he looks a cultured, ball-playing CH, in others a pub player! I, too, thought Jack did alright (bar his corners, which were shite), Sinisterra was lively and took his goal well. Adams did well, particularly given he was on a yellow, Roca and Aaronson were anonymous first half but showed up in the second. Still have concerns about Rasmus, he buys that dip of the shoulder move too easily, but did figure Gordon out as the game went on. Joffy looked sharp and could/should have scored and 20 minutes for Bamford was a positive, we currently have no-one better to lead the line. Becoming more and more impressed with Koch, solid and dependable played in his preferred position.

Everton came to spoil and frustrate and they did. Pickford is a good keeper but he is one annoying ba***rd!!! As for Fwank; if they lose Gordon, they look doomed.

Lampard podt match called Harrison one of the best wingers in the premier league. Maybe that's why he put 2 defenders on him

Llorente leads league with 12 interceptions.

A couple of positive thoughts for those who support our club but don't support our players.

I'll repeat it again

70% possession

14 shots to 7

5 On target to 2

10 corners to 2

We played well overall
