Everton manager Silva laments 'harsh' Leicester defeat

Everton manager Marco Silva says Sunday's 2-1 loss to Leicester City was a harsh result.

The Toffees deserved their lead when Richarlison scored after 23 minutes.

Jamie Vardy equalised in the second-half before Kelechi Iheanacho's offside goal was overturned four minutes into stoppage time to give the Foxes victory.

With his side two points above the relegation zone, Silva said: "It's really harsh for us - we didn't deserve it at all. We deserved to take something more in this game.

"Nothing to say about the attitude and commitment. We were playing against a confident team. Of all their games at home this might have been the toughest they had.

"In the beginning of the second half it was good for us. We created some good moments to kill the game.

"But they have a top striker who in one moment can kill us.

"The VAR goal is not a moment to talk about the situation. It was tough for us and our fans. It was a decision, and maybe in some seconds before we should have made better decisions."
