Everton 2-1 Leicester City: Theo Walcott opens Toffees goal account with double Jamie Vardy responds
What might they have done had he been here? It is a question to which Claude Puel will give great consideration as he reflects on this most difficult night. Nobody who travelled from Leicester to Everton tried to hide how much they had been destabilised by Manchester City's pursuit of Riyad Mahrez and, for long parts of a miserable evening, they performed like a side nursing a hangover. Everton sensed an opportunity and could have inflicted maximum damage, as two goals from Theo Walcott – supplemented by a fine performance from Wayne Rooney – carried them into what looked like an unassailable lead.

Bolton 1-0 Bristol City: High-flying Robins stunned as Sammy Ameobi's strike lifts Wanderers out
Sammy Ameobi provided the inspiration as Bolton battled to adjust to life without Gary Madine on Friday night. The former Newcastle forward surged forward from the halfway line and finished a counter-attack in clinical fashion with just under 20 minutes left to boost his side’s hopes of Championship survival. Bolton’s task of avoiding an instant return to League One has got a lot tougher following the decision to sell 10-goal top scorer Madine to Cardiff City for £6million on Wednesday.
Celtic 3-1 Hearts: Moussa Dembele strikes as leaders go 14 points clear
Vengeance for Celtic was swift, clinical and sometimes brutal. Six weeks have passed since the Invincibles tag bit the dust at Tynecastle. Hearts learned how it feels to have an unbeaten run ripped up and torn to bits. This was Celtic’s most fluent performance since a 3-0 win in Aberdeen at the end of October. It could be coincidence that it came against the team which ended their 69 game record run with a 4-0 thrashing last month. Yet the intensity and desire of the first half performance, in particular, suggested otherwise.

Leicester City’s first victory in six matches was made in Algeria with Riyad Mahrez and record signing Islam Slimani on target to break down stubborn resistance from Huddersfield.
