Olomola denies leaders Everton

Premier League 2

Southampton striker earns 1-1 draw as opponents stay two points clear at top of Division 1

Olufela Olomola's eighth goal of the season denied Premier League 2 Division 1 leaders Everton victory in a 1-1 draw at Southampton.

Olomola struck in off the post a minute after Oumar Niasse's powerful volley had given the Toffees the lead at Saints' Staplewood Campus.

The draw leaves Everton two points clear of Manchester City at the top of the table, while Southampton are seventh.
