Everton drew first blood through a Calvert Dominic-Lewin penalty kick in the 16th minute.
Defender Soyuncu fired Leicester City level in the 22nd minute before Englishman Jamie Vardy gave the Foxes a deserved lead 10 minutes later.

Maddison had a spot-kick saved by Jordan Pickford just before the half-time break at the King Power on Monday night.
In the 55th minute, Iwobi powered the Toffees level and that was enough to force a draw as relegation battle hots-up in the English Premier League.
