Everton took the lead on Elland Road with the Icelandic Gylfi Sigurdsson (PT 8m) and increased with English Dominic Calvert-Lewin (PT 41m). Leeds, who had several situations to convert in the first half, defended poorly both times.
The discount of Leeds was specified by the Brazilian Raphinha (ST 3m). The team that leads Bielsa went for more, but the Everton goalkeeper, the Swede Robin Olsen, deprived him of the tie with notable saves.
Everton, which was temporarily installed in the qualifying zone for the Europa League, took advantage of their situations to the fullest and cut a streak of two consecutive wins for Leeds, which is the second most scored team in the Premier League (38) only surpassed by West Bromwich ( 52).
Manchester City resumed the lead alone with a 2-0 away win against Burnley and Leicester City defeated Fulham 2-0.
The day continued with a 3-2 win for West Ham as a visitor to Aston Villa, where one of the Argentine team’s goalkeepers saved Emiliano Martinez and Liverpool’s defeat on their court, after 68 games, against Brighton and Hove Albion, which did not have Alexis McAllister nor in the substitute bench.
