“Our form hasn’t been the best for a period now but we still have it in our hands to achieve what would be a dream for us, getting into the top four. But we can only get that if the performance is right.”
Leicester were stung early on by a 10 th-minute strike from Richarlison and fell even more behind 6 minutes later on to a Gylfi Sigurdsson penalty.
The visitors rallied after the break and responded through Kelechi Iheanacho however might not transform their late pressure into an equaliser.
Rodgers stated: “We were much better in the second half which makes it similarly aggravating due to the fact that we set out to start with that pace.
” That is something that has actually sneaked back into our game– we have not begun rapidly enough.
“After controlling possession we found ourselves a goal behind but it was early, we could get ourselves back into the game. But I thought the penalty was harsh and in this environment it can be difficult to come back from 2-0 down.”
Rodgers was dissatisfied with the penalty, granted for handball against Wilfred Ndidi after a prolonged VAR check.
He stated: “I think it was so harsh but we have had a few of those we haven’t got. It was certainly not clear and obvious.”
Everton are looking upwards after a second succeedingwin With 6 games staying, the Europa League locations are strongly in reach.
