Jamie Vardy scored the first goal of 2019 as Leicester City beat Everton 1-0 at Goodison Park.
Everton came closest to a first-half goal when Lucas Digne's cross was met by Jonjoe Kenny, whose shot hit the bar.
Leicester got the winner in the 58th minute. Pouncing on a miscontrol from Michael Keane, Ricardo Pereira slipped in Vardy to finish past Jordan Pickford for his seventh goal of the season.
