Bilal El Khannouss handed ‘underwhelming’ verdict on full Leicester City debut after 1-1 draw vs Everton
Steve Cooper’s search for a first Premier League win as Leicester City manager continues after a disappointing home draw against Everton.
The draw in awful conditions took Leicester City to three points from a possible 15 but Steve Cooper will have seen this match against bottom of the table Everton as must-win for his side.
Leicester fell behind after 12 minutes as Iliman Ndiaye worked some space on the edge of the box before firing past Mads Hermansen to silence the King Power crowd.
Despite having 59% possession, Leicester struggled to create in front of an increasingly frustrated home crowd before eventually Stephy Mavididi scored his second goal in as many games after Everton failed to clear a Harry Winks corner.
This strike was one of just two shots on target for the Foxes in a poor display in such a crucial game and the performance of one starter in particular will be a concern for Cooper.

After criticism of his perceived negative approach so far this season, Cooper handed a first Preneir League start to £21 million summer signing Bilal El Khannouss.
