In a Premier League clash, Everton drew 1-1 at home against Leeds United. Thierno Barry continued his impressive form, scoring a second-half equaliser for Everton. James Justin had previously put Leeds ahead in the first half. The draw extends Everton's winless home streak to five games, while Leeds remains six points clear of the relegation zone.

Leeds initially took a deserved lead, but Barry's goal changed the momentum. Idrissa Gueye later hit the bar for Everton. The match highlighted the contrasting fortunes of both teams, with Everton struggling at home and Leeds seeking to improve their away record. David Moyes, Everton's manager, admitted disappointment with their first-half performance.

Everton's manager David Moyes acknowledged the impact of halftime substitutions by bringing on Jarrad Branthwaite and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall. Leeds boss Daniel Farke felt his team should have secured the win in the first half. The result leaves Leeds with only one away win this season. The focus now shifts to whether Leeds can cause Arsenal problems.
