Everton 0 Leeds United 1 FT – 0-0 HT
Raphinha (79’minutes)
Assists Harrison (79’minutes)
Leeds earned their first win in four games by beating Everton in a thrilling match thanks to Raphinha’s long-range strike.
The Brazilian finally broke the deadlock from 20 yards with a low, fizzing shot after the two sides had carved out numerous chances in a game where managers Marcelo Bielsa and Carlo Ancelotti met for the first time.
The visitors had been left frustrated after hitting the post through Jack Harrison in the first half and drawing fine saves from Jordan Pickford, who could do little about the winner.
Leeds have picked up their first away league victory against Everton since August 1990 (3-2), having failed to win on any of their previous 13 trips to Goodison Park in league competition prior to this game.
Leeds have won as many away Premier League games in 2020-21 (three) as they did in the entirety of 2003-04 (their previous top-flight campaign), whilst they have kept consecutive clean sheets in the competition for the first time since January 2003.
League Position 11th after 10 games
