BBC pundit wowed by Everton lifeline that ‘keeps Leeds and Leicester on their toes’
Everton secured a precious point in the Premier League clash with Wolves on Saturday 20 May at Molineux.
Yerry Mina pounced with a last-gasp effort to make it 1-1, to give the Toffees hope, in the battle to avoid relegation to the Championship next week.
BBC pundit Rachel Brown-Finnis stated that it “could be the point that keeps Leeds and Leicester on their toes”, with the duo below yet to play so far this weekend.
As reported by the BBC Sport live text commentary of the Premier League action, the former England women’s international goalkeeper provided her instant feedback on the dramatic conclusion to the game in the West Midlands.
“Cross after cross after cross has gone in and Dan Bentley has picked everyone up,” she said.
“This time Everton manage to keep it alive and Yerry Mina finishes at the near post.
“This could be the point that keeps Leeds and Leicester on their toes.”
Absolutely massive
The true value of this draw will not be known until the campaign comes to an end, next Sunday, but what a boost it will provide to the Toffees players as well as the fans, ahead of the final game of the season.
With their game taking place on Saturday, prior to the fixtures involving Nottingham Forest, Leeds United and Leicester City, it was essential that they added to their points tally and they did just that, eventually!
Sean Dyche will breathe a sigh of relief given how fraught things are at the bottom of the table at present, but things could change very quickly.
The clash between West Ham and Leeds on Sunday will have a huge say on how the relegation zone shapes up, ahead of D-day next weekend with up to four clubs set to fight it out, to avoid joining Southampton in the second tier of English football next season.
