Raphinha rescues point for Leeds in a thrilling draw with Everton with a draw score of 2-2. Raphinha came to Leeds' rescue with a fantastic curling finish in the club's first home Premier League game with a packed stadium in 17 years. The Brazilian, who scored against the Toffees both at home and away last season, scored with 18 minutes remaining in a frantic, violent, and plainly spectacular encounter played out to near-constant crowd noise.
Moreover, Everton took a 1-0 lead against the run of play thanks to Dominic Calvert-30th-minute Lewin's penalty, which came as a result of a VAR check after the on-field official failed to notice Leeds skipper Liam Cooper's tug on the striker's jersey. Gray, who joined Rafa Benitez's team from Bayer Leverkusen in July, rifled the ball past goalkeeper Illan Meslier from a tight angle inside the box in the 50th minute to make it 2-1.
