Brazilian midfielder Raphinha scored the game's decisive goal in the 79th-minute to consign Everton to their fourth loss in five games.

For Leeds, it was their second win in five games having suffered successive 4-1 losses to Crystal Palace and Leicester City before a frustrating goalless draw against 10-man Arsenal.
