FT: Everton 1-1 Leeds Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink Former Chelsea striker on Sky Sports A game of two halves. In the first half Leeds were absolutely magnificent and then second half Everton came back, and rightly scored. Lots of entertainment. It was a good battle. Everton 1-1 Leeds A point apiece.

Everton 1-1 Leeds Leeds have a corner, but Sean Longstaff's delivery sails over the head of Joe Rodon and the chance evaporates.

Go on Thierno! Malcolm, Birkenhead Everton 1-1 Leeds Sean Longstaff almost makes an instant impact following his introduction for Leeds but shoots over the top from the right. Probably should've done better. Click 'Get Involved' to have your say Subs from Farke too late as always. First half super, 2nd half rubbish. Get a grip Dav, Wakefield Everton 1-1 Leeds A Leeds debut for Facundo Buonanotte following his loan move from Brighton. He's one of three Daniel Farke changes with Sean Longstaff and Noah Okafor also on. Sebastiaan Bornauw, Brenden Aaronsson and Anton Stach are the trio to be replaced. Everton 1-1 Leeds Andy Hinchcliffe Former Man City and Everton defender on Sky Sports Everton are chasing the winner now after getting the equaliser, but they've got to do it in a sensible way. Leeds have the ability to put three or four passes together, and if Everton are out of shape, they can catch them on the counter. Everton 1-1 Leeds Thierno Barry has scored four goals in his last five Premier League games, having scored just once in his first 18. Indeed, since the start of December, only Ollie Watkins (seven), Dominic Calvert-Lewin (seven) and Erling Haaland (six) have scored more Premier League goals than Barry (five). Click 'Get Involved' to have your say This is where Farke loses brownie points. That had been coming since the second half started and he did nothing to change it. So disappointing. Lee, Leeds Everton 1-1 Leeds Sarah Mulkerrins BBC Radio 5 Live reporter at Hill Dickinson Stadium The atmosphere has changed around me because of the equaliser. Everton have dominated the second half, Leeds were sitting back, and now they have suffered for it. Barry was able to slot it home from just a couple of yards out. Everton 1-1 Leeds Andy Hinchcliffe Former Man City and Everton defender on Sky Sports Out of pretty much nothing Everton are level. As with the Leeds goal earlier, a centre forward getting across their defender at the front post causes so many problems. Where Calvert-Lewin didn't score, Barry has got something on the cross and it's so close to Darlow he can't react to keep it out. Everton 1-1 Leeds This match has flipped and Everton almost score twice in two minutes. Idrissa Gueye, who set up the goal, is set up by Iliman Ndiaye and sees a rasping shot bounce off the crossbar. Thierno Barry Everton are level, with only their second attempt on target. Idrissa Gueye makes the goal with a low ball in from the right wing and Thierno Barry dashes to the near post, gets in front of his marker and sends his shot into the roof of the net. Everton 0-1 Leeds Everton win a corner after Iliman Ndiaye's deflected shot, only for Kiernan Dewsbury' Hall's corner to be a disappointing one, into the near post and away. This video can not be played Barry goal rescues draw for Everton against Leeds At a glance James Justin gives Leeds deserved lead after 28 minutes Thierno Barry scores his fourth goal in five league games with 14 minutes left Draw leaves Everton in 10th place, Leeds 16th PLAYER RATER Thierno Barry continued his recent fine scoring form when he pounced to rescue a point for Everton against Leeds United at Hill Dickinson Stadium. Daniel Farke's visitors deservedly led through James Justin's first-half goal, with Everton receiving a furious send-off from their own supporters at the interval. Everton manager David Moyes reacted with changes at half-time - including the re-introduction of fit-again Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall - and his side responded. Barry was unsettling Leeds, scoring the equaliser with 14 minutes left with a sharp near-post finish from Idrissa Gueye's cross for his fourth goal in five Premier League games, following his winner at Aston Villa. Everton welcomed back Africa Cup of Nations duo Iliman Ndiaye and Gueye after their triumphant campaign with Senegal, but they had no impact in a dreadful opening 45 minutes from the home team. Leeds were in complete control, taking a deserved lead after 28 minutes, Justin arriving at the far post to score after Dominic Calvert-Lewin had failed to get a touch on Anton Stach's cross. Calvert-Lewin should have marked the return to his former club by doubling Leeds' advantage shortly after, only to strike the near post from six yards when he got on the end of Jayden Bogle's cross. Moyes had to make some attempt to change the course of the game, doing so by introducing defender Jarrad Branthwaite for the first time this season following hamstring surgery, and Dewsbury-Hall, who had been sidelined since December with a similar injury. Harrison Armstrong and Dwight Mc Neil went off. Everton improved and were finally able to test Leeds keeper Karl Darlow, who dived to his right to save Barry's effort. Barry had been tireless once more and got his reward with 14 minutes left, pouncing at the near post to turn Gueye's cross high past Darlow. With Leeds suddenly rocking, Gueye then struck the bar with Darlow beaten. Everton pressed for a winner, but Leeds survived with few more alarms for a well-merited point. Have your say on Everton's performance What did you make of Leeds' display? This video can not be played Moyes praises 'much better' second half Everton have moved from historic Goodison Park to their superb new home on the banks of the River Mersey, but this latest indifferent performance was further evidence that it has not been a smooth transition. They have now lost four, won four and drawn four of 12 league games at Hill Dickinson Stadium, and for a long time this looked like being another damaging loss when they had the opportunity to move into serious European contention with victory. Everton, to be brutal, were a ponderous mess in the opening half, a message loudly conveyed to them by the home fans at the break. Branthwaite and Dewsbury-Hall offered drive and creation when they came on, without Leeds ever coming under siege, so it was left to Barry to strike again and at least scramble a point for Everton. The 23-year-old French striker is raw to say the least, but his attitude cannot be faulted and he is now adding goals to his game, which Moyes and Everton will be grateful for. This, however, was a chance missed for the Blues to chalk up an important win at their new home. This video can not be played Leeds have good momentum right now - Farke Leeds will feel a real sense of frustration at conceding a late equaliser when they looked the better side for so long. Farke's team were vibrant in the first half, the crucial moment coming when Calvert-Lewin wasted a huge chance to punish his former club by hitting the post from close range, which would have put Leeds 2-0 up. Brenden Aaronson, in particular, ran Everton ragged and Leeds will know they should have had this one wrapped up - only to leave the door open after dominating. This was, however, another sign of how much Leeds have improved under Farke as they have established a six-point cushion from the relegation places. And to underline their revival, no side has lost fewer league games since the start of December than Leeds (one), while only Aston Villa (22), Manchester City (21), Arsenal (20), Manchester United and Fulham (both 17) have collected more points in that time than their 15. Leeds, though, will justifiably believe this should have been three points rather than one. Everton are next in action on Saturday, 31 January when they visit 12th-placed Brighton in the Premier League (15: 00 GMT). Leeds kick off at the same time against Premier League leaders Arsenal at Elland Road.

Monday Night Club. BBC Sport. Video Monday Night Club BBC Sport Premier League All competitions All competitions All competitions Everton have lost just one of their last 16 home league games against Leeds (W8 D7), going down 1-0 in November 2020. Leeds are looking to complete the league double over Everton for the first time since 1990-91. Their last two away league victories against the Toffees have been as a promoted club (August 1990, November 2020). Everton have picked up just seven points in their last seven home Premier League matches (W2 D1 L4) – four of their last five wins have come away from home, while five of their last six clean sheets have also come on the road. Between MD14 and MD22, only five teams won more points in the Premier League than Leeds (14) and only Liverpool (0) lost fewer games than the Whites (1). Leeds scored 17 goals in these nine games, four more than they managed in their first 13 games this season (13). Since the start of November, Everton have kept more clean sheets than any other Premier League side (7). Despite this, the Toffees have faced the fifth-most shots (184) in the division in that time – it’s 10 more than Leeds have faced, but they have five more clean sheets than the Whites (2). In the Premier League in 2026 so far, Leeds have applied the most high pressures to their opponents both overall (1, 875) and in the opposition half (958). Three of the top-five players for high pressures this year are Leeds players – Brenden Aaronson (341, 1st), Dominic Calvert-Lewin (275, 3rd) and Ilia Gruev (252, 5th). Only Burnley (5) and Wolves (3) have fewer away Premier League points in the Premier League this season than Leeds United (6 – W1 D3 L7) and only Bournemouth (30) and Burnley (27) have conceded more goals than the Whites (24). Leeds’ only clean sheet in their last 22 away games was at reigning champions Liverpool on New Year’s Day this year in a 0-0 draw. David Moyes has won four of his five Premier League home games against Leeds (L1), including both as Everton manager in February and September 2003. Only three players have won possession more often in the Premier League this season than Everton’s James Garner (114). His total of 14 last time out against Aston Villa was the most by a Toffees player in a game since March 2024 (Amadou Onana vs West Ham, also 14). Leeds striker Lukas Nmecha – who netted the winner against Everton earlier this season – is averaging a goal every 122 minutes in the Premier League this season, the fourth-best ratio among players with 500+ minutes. The two Whites players to score home and away against the Toffees in a Premier League season are Michael Bridges in 1999-00 and Raphinha in 2020-21. Copyright © 2026 BBC.
