Leicester City clinched a rare first Sunday.
The Foxes had not won six straight games in an English Premier League season, including during their miraculous championship campaign in the 2015-16 season. Leicester might not be able to follow in those title-winning footsteps, but Kelechi Iheanacho's 94th-minute winner Sunday at King Power Stadium gave Leicester a 2-1 win over visiting Everton at the death.

Liverpool FC still leads Leicester by eight points atop the table thanks to Saturday's win over Brighton, but matches against three Premier League bottom-feeders (Watford, Aston Villa, Norwich City) give the Foxes a fighting chance to (at least) keep pace with the Reds heading into the festive fixtures.
Ihenacho's goal ensured Leicester remained in striking distance ahead of that stretch.
