Leeds goalscorer James Justin speaks to the cameras:
In the end, we’ll take the point. We had confidence coming into the game and we rode the wave. [Re the Leeds goal] I get a bit of stick from a coach for arriving in the box too fast so I arrived late and it worked.
Why did it go wrong for Leeds in the second half?
They brought on my mate, Kiernan [Dewsbury-Hall]. He was very good, finding pockets of space.
Justin and Dewsbury-Hall were teammates at Leicester City, remember.
ShareAndy Hunter's match reportShareJames Garner, Everton midfielder, speaks to Sky Sports:
The first half we were sloppy, not at the races. The manager made changes and we were much the better team. We were losing a lot of second balls in midfield and [Moyes] wanted to see a change in tempo.
We were going into the game hoping for three points. We were able to rescue a point after going a goal down. We need to bring our away form back to the home games.
Thierno Barry is awarded the player of the match. That’s a surprising choice, in my opinion, but the Everton striker did take his goal nicely. That’s four goals in the last five league games for the Frenchman.
ShareThis is what the result does to the table. Not much. Everton up one place to 10th, Leeds stay in 16th but one point further away from the bottom three.
ShareFull-time: Everton 1-1 LeedsThat’s a fair result. Leeds were better in the first, Everton in the second.
Share90+4 min: After taking a blow to the face, Buonanotte tries his luck from distance, blocked by Tarkowski. Leeds have a late corner, but Justin glances a near-post header wide.
Share90+2 min: Corner to Leeds. The game has again turned with Farke’s subs. A chance for another late Leeds winner … but the delivery is too high even for the farthest Leeds attacker at the back post. Poor.
Share90 min: Four minutes added on. Longstaff is booked for something, although I have to admit that I missed the incident.
Share89 min: Chance for Dibling! The winger is unmarked as Everton work their way right across the pitch. The weight of pass from Dewsbury-Hall begs for Dibling to take a shot first-time, but the teenager instead chooses to cross, and Leeds easily clear. Another wasteful opportunity!
Share87 min: Leeds hit Everton on the counter, with Okafor leaving the rest of Everton’s midfield for dead with his powerful running up the middle of the pitch. A pass goes right to Longstaff, who blazes over! What a waste!
Share84 min: Triple change incoming for Leeds. The visitors need an injection of energy. Okafor, Longstaff and (a debut for Buonanotte) are on. Stach, Aaronson and Bornauw are off.
I think that means that Leeds will switch to a back four: Bogle, Rodon, Struijk, Justin.
Share82 min: A couple of times Aaronson has threatened to get Leeds up the pitch, but Everton are closing the gaps so much quicker than they were and the slight American is struggling to deal with the physicality of Tarkowski, O’Brien and Branthwaite.
Share80 min: This game has turned wildly in Everton’s favour. Moyes deserves an awful lot of credit for his substitutions and change of formation. Leeds have barely had a kick in this second half.
ShareEverton hit the bar immediately after scoring!78 min: The Toffees are inches away from taking the lead! Barry clips a floated cross the back post, Ndiaye and Dewsbury-Hall both have chances to shoot inside the Leeds area but instead roll the ball back to Gueye, who takes aim and crashes the ball against the bar! Leeds escape.
ShareGOAL! Everton 1-1 Leeds (Barry 76)Ha! Well that has shut me up. A very similar goal to Leeds’ opener as Gueye makes a run from central midfield down the right wing. A low cross comes towards the near post and Barry stabs a neat finish past Darlow! The stadium erupts!

75 min: Corner for Everton. Dewsbury-Hall can’t beat the first Leeds man at the near post. That is the sort of thing that will keep Moyes up at night.
Share73 min: Leeds are content to sit in a mid block and let Everton have the ball, they have had 70% possession in this second half. It doesn’t feel like a goal is coming, but I thought that just before Justin gave Leeds the lead.
Share71 min: Dibling is back from the bogs, and now can come on for Patterson. It looks like a straight swap in Everton’s new 3-5-2 formation. The teenager is going to play as a more attacking right-wing back.
Share69 min: Dibling was stripped and ready to come on as an Everton sub, but quickly disappears down the tunnel. We’re told that nature has called for the former Southampton man.
Share67 min: Changes for Leeds, which is perhaps not surprising given the recent Everton revival. Kári Tulinius will be delighted to know that Tanaka has come on for Gruev, who was booked.
Share65 min: Darlow has barely had anything to do, that was a top stop.
ShareMagnificent save from Darlow!63 min: Everton so close to the equaliser as Barry tries a trivela shot, bending one with the outside of his boot after a flowing move from Everton. Darlow hurls himself to his right and tips the shot away. Good football all around.

61 min: Much, much better from Everton. Ndiaye wears the No 10 shirt and that’s where the Senegalese is playing, centrally and just behind Barry.
Share59 min: Ndiaye denied! Say that three times fast. It’s a quite outstanding block from Bornauw, who slides across to get in front of the Afcon winner, who cut inside deliciously on his left foot and looks poised to bend a shot into the corner.
Share57 min: “Everton’s, shall we say, patchy home form this season makes one wonder if you’re not the only one missing Goodison Park,” emails Daniel Halladay. “That being said, it hasn’t been much of a fortress for Everton women, as they have lost every single home match (including the one played at the Hill Dickinson).”
Share55 min: Another Leeds booking, this time for Gruev as the Bulgarian stops Ndiaye streaming away on an Everton counter-attack.
Share53 min: Stach leaves Mykolenko in a heap and gets a deserved yellow card. There is a brief VAR penalty check for an Everton handball inside their own box – it does his an arm but Patterson is judged not to move his towards the ball.
Share51 min: Everton instantly look like an improved side. Ndiaye beats his marker and plays forward to Barry, who is surely fouled by Bornauw on the edge of Leeds’ area?! No! The referee waves play on! That has got the Everton fans’ back up. All of a sudden we have an atmosphere! We have ourselves a game, ladies and gentlemen!
Share49 min: Very interesting to see Branthwaite back, his first first-team appearance since May. Could the 23-year-old make a late charge for Thomas Tuchel’s World Cup squad? Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. That said, Guéhi has one of the centre-back slots nailed on but the other is very much up for grabs.
Share47 min: Up until this point, this has felt a little bit like a Championship contest in terms of the quality and tactics. Lots of hopeful crosses, second balls and one player (Aaronson, in this case) that seems considerably better than the rest.
SharePeeeeeeep!We’re underway again on Merseyside.
ShareEverton do indeed make changes, two of them.
Dewsbury-Hall on for McNeil. Branthwaite is on for his first appearance of the season, replacing Armstrong.
That means Everton are switching to a back three, and will match up Leeds’ 3-5-2 formation.
ShareHalf-time reading:
ShareHalf-time: Everton 0-1 LeedsBoos ring around the stadium as the home fans give their verdict on Everton’s first-half performance.
Share45 min: Two minutes added on here. The Hill Dickinson looks like a fine modern stadium but I miss Goodison Park. What a gaff.
Share44 min: Rodon gives the ball away and Everton pounce! Leeds are out of position in transition and Ndiaye finds Garner with a first-time through ball but the Englishman rather rushes his shot, lacing one into the side netting! Signs of life for Everton.
Share42 min: The xG for both teams: Everton have 0.1, Leeds have 1.04.
