PREM: Everton 1-1 Huddersfield

Philip Billing wheels away in delight after giving Huddersfield the lead on Saturday

Huddersfield Town showed their fighting spirit as they earned a deserved point in a 1-1 draw against substandard Everton at Goodison Park.

Philip Billing gave the Yorkshire side the lead after 34 minutes when he headed in his first Premier League goal from Chris Lowe's corner.

But Marco Silva's side equalised within 87 seconds as Dominic Calvert-Lewin rose to head in Lucas Digne's cross from the left.

Huddersfield, who have moved out of the relegation zone and up to 17th position, shaded the second period with neither side coming close to finding a winner, meaning both have now recorded two draws on the bounce.

Everton move up to seventh place but it is a point that will suit Terriers boss David Wagner a lot more, although his side's six shots on target compared to the hosts' one suggests it was they who might count themselves unlucky not to win this encounter.

Everton were without the suspended Richarlison and they missed the Brazilian's trickery even before Theo Walcott was forced off the field through injury early in the second half.

By then, both sides had found the net in a frantic three-minute spell that sparked this niggly contest into life.

Everton have struggled to defend set pieces so far this season, with Wolves, Southampton and Bournemouth all scoring in their three previous matches from such deliveries - and Billing benefited from their latest display of weakness.

Chris Lowe's corner was inadvertently flicked on by Calvert-Lewin at the front post, with the Denmark Under-21 international heading in unmarked from close range.

But Everton's response was immediate. Kurt Zouma fed Digne down the left, and the former Barcelona full-back - on his first Premier Leagure start- cut inside Adama Diakhaby before his cross was headed in by Calvert-Lewin for his third goal of the week.

The 21-year-old scored twice in the 3-1 victory over Rotherham in the Carabao Cup second-round win on Wednesday, and he very nearly completed the turnaround before the interval as he headed over from Walcott's cross when well-placed.

Cenk Tosun, Seamus Coleman and Zouma had all flashed speculative efforts wide of Lossl's goal in a frustrating first half for the hosts, and the closest they came to scoring in the second period fell to Tosun but he headed over from Zouma's hooked cross.

Huddersfield were always dangerous on the counter-attack with Rajiv van La Parra firing over - but neither side had the cutting edge to turn one point into three.
