And with that, I’m off. Here’s Stuart James’s match report, by way of further reading. Bye!

David Unsworth has his post-match chat.

Second half, much better. The positivity and the way we wanted to play, on the front foot, was there for all to see. First half we didn’t start. Formations, tactics can go out the window if your players don’t play on the front foot. Our performance was certainly a lot better second half. At half-time I wanted an extra man in midfield. You have to tinker with your formations, and it gave the full-backs some extra space to go into. For whatever reason first half it didn’t work. You’ve got to be reactive, and you’ve got to show the players that you’re on the front foot as well.

We had a couple of half-chances, but nowhere near – first half – the performance level that I would expect. We’ve just picked a team, the last two games. Fresh eyes, and what we felt was the best team to win a game of football. Today, first half unacceptable but we’ve reacted and second half we’ve dominated without getting the reward. I’ll pick teams that’ll win a game of football, it doesn’t matter about the reputation and the value of the player.

Jamie Vardy talks:

The gaffer’s come in this weeks and to be fair to him he said for this game he didn’t want to change too much, just a few tactical tweaks, and it’s paid off today. We’ll be in this week looking forward to next week’s game and we’ll see if he brings in a few more changes.

And so does Demarai Gray, the man of the match:

I’ve had to wait a long time for my opportunities but it’s a new start. We’ve had momentum off the back of the last two games and we’ve brought it into today’s game. The second is 100% my goal. 100%. I’ll take it, and take the three points. The boys know once we score the first goal we’re going to be fine from there. Second half they put pressure on us which was to be expected but we’ve seen it out.

90+4 mins: It’s all over, it’s three wins on the spin for Leicester, and it’s more gloom for Everton.

90+2 mins: Niasse tries to take the ball past a defender on the left flank before crossing into the box. Instead he takes the ball off the pitch and then crosses into the stands.

90+1 mins: There will be three minutes of stoppage time. “Going down!” trill the home fans.

90 mins: Iheanacho comes on for Vardy.

89 mins: Baines’ dipping shot from 25 yards dips over the bar. They have had an enormous number of wayward efforts from range, and not a lot else.

88 mins: “They don’t look like scoring, and they don’t look like keeping a clean sheet,” says Jamie Carragher of Everton. Other than that, this has been a much-improved display.

86 mins: Leicesetr fluff a chance for a third! Vardy goes down the right and centres, and Iborra runs onto it, gets his feet in a muddle and sends the ball bobbling wide.

84 mins: Niasse does something quite good on the left, chasing two defenders and winning the ball off them, but his cross is straight to a defender and the corner that follows the clearing header is itself cleared.

82 mins: Chilwell runs down the left, Baningime chivying and hassling him all the while, and does well to stay on his feet, drive to within a couple of yards of the byline, and win a corner. And that’s his final contribution to the game, as Marc Albrighton replaces him.

81 mins: Jagielka comes forward in an attempt to cut out a pass to Vardy and misses it, and the Leicester man is suddenly sprinting free into the penalty area. A poor touch later, however, Williams has cleaned up the mess.

78 mins: Everton’s next five league fixtures are Watford (h), Crystal Palace (a), Southampton (a), West Ham (h) and Huddersfield (h). A team with their ambitions should be getting 12-15 points from that run of fixtures, really.

77 mins: Niasse, who has been absolutely rubbish since coming on, shoots high from just outside the area.

76 mins: Jagielka loses the ball to Vardy on the left and so fouls him quite badly. Vardy, to his credit, leaps straight to his feet in search of some advantage, and Jagielka thus evades a caution. The free kick, meanwhile, comes to nought.

75 mins: Leicester make their first change, bringing Okazaki on for Mahrez.

74 mins: Sigurdsson, with his first touch, sends in a lovely corner that nobody gets on the end of.

73 mins: Wayne Rooney is going to make way for Sigurdsson. He doesn’t seem entirely gruntled about it.

71 mins: This really is a non-stop barrage of Everton possession, pressure and imprecision.

70 mins: Which is cleared.

70 mins: Gueye’s lovely pass picks out Niasse in the area, but he can’t do anything with it. Still, Everton win a corner.

69 mins: Everton are preparing their final substitution, which will see Sigurdsson rise from the bench. On the pitch, Everton continue to scuttle about purposefully, though ineffectually.

66 mins: Gueye gets booked for something I didn’t see. Apparently he took out Vardy at some point, and then play continued for a while

64 mins: Calvert-Lewin spins away from Maguire on the right and sends in a decent low cross, but Morgan gets there first and boots clear. From the corner Jagielka attempts an overhead – we’ve had a real glut of those recently – but it goes wide.

64 mins: Everton are very much on the front foot, but they just can’t do anything remotely interesting actually inside the Leicester penalty area. Davies tries to run into it, but finds a defender in the way.

61 mins: Everton work the ball down the right, across to the left, back to the right, into the middle, back to the right, finally Davies crosses and Niasse attempts a wildly optimistic 18-yard overhead that goes nowhere near the target.

59 mins: Gueye’s shot from 25 yards flicks off Maguire’s back and loops over.

57 mins: Iborra crosses from the left and Vardy, in the middle, juggles the ball and tries an overhead, which goes wide. Williams scrapes his calf in attempting to close him down, but after a bit of writhing around Vardy makes a full recovery.

55 mins: Fuchs launches a long throw into the penalty area, which Pickford punches clear, not entirely convincingly.

53 mins: Since half-time Everton have reduced width and increased tempo.

51 mins: Rooney curls a lovely ball into the area, over two defenders and onto the boot of Niasse … who miscontrols. Schmeichel collects.

48 mins: Chilwell drives through midfield. He ignores Davies’ tackle, hurdles Rooney’s attempt, jumps over Baningime’s, and after all ignoring three invitations to go down and win a free kick falls over no one at all. The referee gives him a free kick anyway.

47 mins: Davies wins Everton a corner, to loud roars of approval in the away corner.

46 mins: Peeeep! They’re off! Again!

Two changes for Everton at the break: Mirallas and Lennon are off, Baningime and Niasse are on.

Sky show some excellent footage of Joe Royle having a chat with David Unsworth during the first half after sneaking pitchside, before being ushered away by the fourth official because he wasn’t supposed to be there.

45+3 mins: So that’s it for half one. Leicester have been sporadically excellent, Everton occasionally dangerous. They should have stopped the second goal and had a penalty of the own, which would have put a different complexion on things. But they didn’t.

45+1 mins: Into stoppage time, of which there’ll be two minutes or so.

44 mins: Jagielka has a shot from range, which rumbles across goal and well wide.

42 mins: Everton are pushing for some pre-interval encouragement, but though their approach play is fine their final ball is not. The latest attempt is Rooney’s cross from the left, which is flicked into an empty area and collected by Schmeichel.
