Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford says they deserved their point after drawing 2-2 at Leicester City on Monday night.

The Foxes twice had the lead and also saw James Maddison's penalty saved by Pickford on the night.

The Toffees keeper said: "We're both fighting, both down there and there's a bit of anxiety on the pitch. We got the first goal, which was nice and I thought we played a brilliant 20 minutes and did what the gaffer wants, then we dropped off.

"From the fans' perspective it was a good game to watch, we created a lot of chances and their goalkeeper made some good saves. We missed chances, but created the most since the new manager has come in so it was a plus, but also a negative.

"I thought we were brilliant, it was just those final details with the delivery. Small details win games, but we didn't get beat. Brighton next Monday so rest, recovery and get ready for the game.

"It's a point and we don't come away from Leicester with zero. We know we're still in the bottom three and it's very tight down there. We roll our sleeves up and keep working hard with a fighting spirit."

On the penalty save, he added: "I did my homework. I called it this morning where I would go. He is a good player and he would've expected me to move but I double-bluffed him and got one up on him.

"It was a big moment and I'm happy to save it, it's what I'm there for."
