Raphinha 8, Luke Ayling 4; Robin Olsen, 8, Dominic Calvert-Lewin 7: Leeds v Everton player ratings

Despite being dominated for much of the game at Elland Road, visitors left with a 2-1 win

Gylfi Sigurdsson and Dominic Calvert-Lewin both scored to lead Everton to a 2-1 Premier League win at Leeds United on Wednesday and revive their hopes of a top four finish.

Leeds dominated throughout but Everton took a ninth-minute lead through Sigurdsson who steered a sharp low cross by Lucas Digne past goalkeeper Illan Meslier before Egzjan Alioski rattled the woodwork at the other end.

A string of saves by keeper Robin Olsen, who stood in for the injured Jordan Pickford, kept Everton in the driving seat and the visitors struck again in the 41st minute as Calvert-Lewin dived to head home at the far post.

Leeds pulled one back shortly after the break when Brazilian winger Raphinha side-footed past Olsen after Mason Holgate failed to clear the danger and the hosts then pegged Everton back.

The outstanding Olsen made four stunning saves in the space of 30 seconds midway through the second half as Everton ground out their fourth successive away win, bouncing back from Saturday's 2-0 home defeat by Newcastle United.

Three ways to limit your social media use

Clinical psychologist, Dr Saliha Afridi at The Lighthouse Arabia suggests three easy things you can do every day to cut back on the time you spend online.

1. Put the social media app in a folder on the second or third screen of your phone so it has to remain a conscious decision to open, rather than something your fingers gravitate towards without consideration.

2. Schedule a time to use social media instead of consistently throughout the day. I recommend setting aside certain times of the day or week when you upload pictures or share information. 

3. Take a mental snapshot rather than a photo on your phone. Instead of sharing it with your social world, try to absorb the moment, connect with your feeling, experience the moment with all five of your senses. You will have a memory of that moment more vividly and for far longer than if you take a picture of it.
