Leeds United vs Everton LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction
If taking over from Marcelo Bielsa seemed the most thankless task at Elland Road, replacing Raphinha was not far behind. The Brazilian may have been the most gifted footballer to play for Leeds since the generation who reached the 2001 Champions League semi-finals. Luis Sinisterra was charged with succeeding Barcelona’s £50 million buy and his first Premier League goal extended Leeds’ fine start to the season.
Even as his team missed the opportunity to break into the top four, Bielsa’s successor Jesse Marsch offered more evidence his overhaul will bear fruit. The chance to become the first Leeds side since Don Revie’s eventual champions of 1973-74 to win their first three top-flight home games of a campaign was eschewed but the Colombian’s strike brought echoes of Raphinha. Sinisterra looked the right man for the job.
And yet this was a tale of two goalscoring wingers and two summer transfer targets. Sinisterra has moved but Anthony Gordon, so far, has stayed.
Everton could be grateful for that.
Their third successive 1-1 draw was the second to feature a Gordon goal. But, on an evening when they contributed much, they could nevertheless rue the loss of the lead on the road for the second time in four days. This is their longest winless start to a season in 12 years and, with Liverpool next, the wait may go on.

Leeds will play Brentford next, before taking on big-spending Nottingham Forest, while Everton go in search of their first Premier League victory of the season in the Merseyside derby before tackling league leaders Arsenal at the Emirates.

A typically furious Premier League encounter ends level, though both sides could perhaps have stolen the points towards the end of the second half. Everton were rewarded for their obdurate defence and counter-attacking abilities by Gordon's opener, while Leeds struck through Sinisterra but could not manage to turn their dominance of possession into any more goals. The hosts may be frustrated, but the Toffees stuck in there and were good value for their point.

The visitors are really hanging on here, but with Onana an Iwobi screening their back four, Leeds just cannot break through the centre.

Summing up his game so far, Harrison drags a low shot from 20 yards well wide of the target.

Curiously, Everton are yet to make a substitution, though their bench is not stocked with many viable alternatives at the moment.

SAVE! Meslier makes a crucial stop at his near post, as Patterson blasts a brilliant chance from the right side of the area straight at the Leeds keeper! He had to score there, but looked like he's rather be anywhere other than in such an advanced position. In agony on the touchline, Lampard clearly can't believe it!

21:47 , admin
During the second half, Leeds have had nine attempts at goal compared to just two before the break. Everton have been restricted to only two themselves since the half-time interval.

21:45 , admin
CLOSE! Everton come close to snatching it! From the corner, the ball bounces dangerously around the six-yard box before breaking to Onana. The Belgian midfielder directs it towards goal from close range, but the perfectly-positioned Kristensen makes a last-gasp block with his head!

JUST WIDE! After winning the ball inside the Everton area, Gelhardt drops his shoulder, edges past Tarkowski, but then slightly slices across his powerful shot - it zips past the left-hand post!

NO GOAL! Gray was just offside when the ball was played by Gordon, and the on-field decision stands! It stays 1-1.

EVERTON GOAL? Gordon apparently delays just too long before releasing the ball, but picks out Gray in the centre with a low pass. The latter then goes on to place the ball past Meslier, but the flag is then raised for offside. The VAR will take a look!

Aaronson manages to make his way to the left byline, but his attempt to turn the ball goalwards from close range only pops up into Pickford's path. The Everton keeper gratefully gathers the ball.

SAVE! Crossing low and quick, before anyone in the area was set, Sinisterra sends the ball zipping across the six-yard box. However, Harrison slightly snatches at his right-footed attempt and it merely bumbles into Pickford's waiting gloves.

A succession of corners sees Leeds continue to pen Everton into the defensive third, but Lampard's men are still battling away for every ball and each time get it clear.

SAVE! Leeds step up the intensity straight away, as Aaronson receives the ball from Harrison by the penalty spot, then turns and thumps a shot towards the top-right corner of the goal. Pickford is equal to it, though, and palms the ball away for a corner. That was the hosts' best effort yet.

Everton's first win of the season is potentially only 45 minutes away, but even if they hold firm until the closing stages, can they clear the hurdle of holding out until the final whistle? Though lacking inspiration so far, Leeds will surely not rest until the final kick of the game.

Despite persistently probing around the edge of the Everton area, Leeds have lacked the nous to unlock their visitors' stubborn back four and find themselves trailing at the break. A move of some skill and a little luck helped Gordon live up to the growing hype around him, as he fired home the opener - his second Premier League goal in a matter of days. Given they've had to reshuffle their defence today, the Toffees are a well organised unit and seem unlikely to crumble after the interval.

Leeds have lost only two of their last 17 matches against Everton at Elland Road, but that record has not helped inspire them so far - they just cannot make anything spark in the final third today.

Urged to shoot from 25 yards out, Koch winds up a powerful effort, but upon its release the ball flies well over the crossbar and into the stand.

Though Leeds have had a 67 per cent share of the ball so far, Everton have managed four attempts on goal to their hosts' solitary one - it has been an impressive rearguard action from the Toffees.

With Everton hanging on until half-time, hoping to maintain their one-goal advantage, Tarkowski comes straight back on and resumes his position in the back four.

Latching onto a dropping ball towards the left side of the box, Harrison is rather harshly penalised for handball when he was poised to move to the byline. That's an Everton free-kick.
Leeds United vs Everton
20:38 , admin
Pickford gets away with another charge out of his six-yard box, as he makes a mess of punching the ball clear. Sinisterra is outnumbered, so Everton can get the ball clear.

33' Dimi fizzes a free-kick in low which Leeds clear only as far as Myko. He tries his luck with a volley but it's hacked away again.

After an arm-to-arm challenge between Pickford and Rodrigo, on the edge of the Everton area, the latter pulls up in apparent agony, and the game is eventually brought to a halt. It looks like a shoulder injury for the Leeds captain, who is receiving immediate medical attention.
Leeds United vs Everton

Before today's match, Gordon had been credited with 48 per cent of Everton’s shots on target in the Premier League this season. He has now scored in consecutive top-flight appearances for the first time, having netted against Brentford on Saturday

In an elaborate display for the officials, Marsch wanders around his technical area with an arm aloft, pointing directly to his watch. The Leeds boss thinks Everton are already playing for time - Pickford was not particularly quick to take a goal-kick just now.

CLOSE! A flat-footed Everton defence narrowly escape conceding an equaliser, as Harrison's wickedly whipped cross from the left zips across the six-yard box and is nearly turned in at the near post by Rodrigo. He just couldn't get his studs on it, to turn it past Pickford!
