PREM: Leicester 1-2 Everton
Gylfi Sigurdsson's sensational 77th-minute strike
Gylfi Sigurdsson's sensational 77th-minute strike earned Everton a 2-1 win over 10-man Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.
Richarlison gave the visitors the lead after seven minutes as he tapped home from Bernard's cross but Ricardo Pereira levelled with five minutes remaining of the first half.
Wes Morgan was sent off for a second bookable offence just after the hour-mark and it proved the turning point as Everton made the numerical advantage count.
Sigurdsson collected Kurt Zouma's pass before bending an unstoppable right-foot shot into the top corner to notch his 50th Premier League goal and help Everton move up to 11th, level on points with Leicester.
Silva handed Bernard his first Premier League start and his decision was vindicated when the Brazilian cut inside Daniel Amartey and found Richarlison, who tucked the ball inside the post for his fourth goal of the season.
Everton missed the opportunity to extend their lead after 30 minutes as Theo Walcott lost his footing while attempting to dribble past Harry Maguire before Jamie Vardy flicked a shot wide when put clean through moments later.
Leicester levelled when Everton were caught out from their own attacking corner. Pereira played a one-two with Kelechi Iheanacho before turning Jonjoe Kenny inside out and firing inside Jordan Pickford's near post.
Leicester made the brighter start to the second period, with Ben Chilwell cutting inside before curling his shot a yard wide, but Claude Puel's men lost all momentum when Morgan was dismissed.
The captain had already been booked for an early foul on Richarlison when he caught the Everton forward once more, leaving referee Andre Marriner with little choice but to brandish a second yellow.
Silva looked to find a winner as Cenk Tosun was introduced, moving Sigurdsson deeper - and the move paid dividends.
The Iceland international picked up the ball 30 yards out before turning inside James Maddison and unleashing a sublime shot beyond Schmeichel into the top corner.
