Raphinha’s first Premier League goal gave Leeds United a 1-0 win at Everton in an enthralling encounter.
The Brazilian midfielder’s shot, the 35th of the match, found the bottom corner in the 79th minute to earn Leeds a first win in four matches.
The two goalkeepers had excelled throughout.
Jordan Pickford denied Patrick Bamford, Raphinha, Jack Harrison and Helder Costa, while at the other end, Illan Meslier made eight saves, including superbly from Abdoulaye Doucoure and then from Richarlison.
When Harrison did beat Pickford on two occasions, his first effort was cleared off the line by Ben Godfrey while his header came back off a post.
But Raphinha finally broke the deadlock to secure Leeds’ first Premier League win at Goodison Park which lifts them to 11th on 14 points, two behind Everton in sixth.
