"Leeds may have felt pressure after Nottingham Forest and West Ham closed the gap over the weekend but showed no discernible sign of nerves at Everton. Daniel Farke's visitors claimed a well-earned point at Hill Dickinson Stadium following a dominant first half display. It could have been much more but for the David Moyes changes that turned the tide Everton's way in the second half."
"Wright, considered one of the club's finest full-backs, won the FA Cup with his boyhood team in 1966, the league championship in 1970 and also represented England at the World Cup in Mexico that year. There was also a presentation to Iliman Ndiaye and Idrissa Gueye to celebrate their triumph at the Africa Cup of Nations with Senegal. Their return was well-timed for Moyes,"
Leeds produced a composed performance to claim a point at Everton after dominating the first half. James Justin opened the scoring before Thierno Barry cancelled it out with an excellent finish, continuing his encouraging run. Everton were second best until David Moyes altered personnel and formation at half-time, which improved their play in the second period. Everton observed a tribute to Tommy Wright before kick-off and celebrated Iliman Ndiaye and Idrissa Gueye's Africa Cup of Nations success, though their return did not immediately cure Everton's anaemic home form. Leeds' midfield movement and Brenden Aaronson repeatedly unsettled Everton's shape.
