It was a no victor no vanquished situation for Super Eagles duo Alex Iwobi and Wilfred Ndidi as Everton and Leicester City settled for draw on Wednesday night.
Iwobi was in action for 10 minutes after coming in as late substitute for Holgate in the 80th minute.

There was however no action for City’s Kelechi Iheanacho.
