Romelu Lukaku on Sunday scored twice to check Leicester’s renaissance in the English Premier League under manager Craig Shakespeare as Everton beat the Foxes 4-2.
The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the win ensured that the Toffees moved within goals difference of Arsenal in sixth.
Tom Davies poked in for the hosts after 30 seconds, before Leicester rallied with a slick counter-attacking goal from Islam Slimani and a superb free-kick from Marc Albrighton.
But Leicester, much changed before Wednesday’s Champions League quarter-final at Atletico Madrid, never looked comfortable.
Lukaku headed in a Ross Barkley cross to draw Everton level and Phil Jagielka was allowed too much space at a corner kick as the Toffees reached the break ahead.
Lukaku drilled in from close range after the interval and the withdrawal of the bright Demarai Gray and striker Jamie Vardy seemed to signal Leicester’s attentions turning towards Europe.
