“Manchester City” controlled the “Etihad Stadium” and won only a draw in the company of “Everton” (1-1).

Manchester City’s miss – Arsenal can break away to the top of the Premier League

The team coached by Pep Guardiola did not beat Everton, although Erling Haaland opened the scoring from Mahrez’s pass (24th minute).

“Towns” authoritatively dominated the game and could have increased their advantage in the first half, but the hosts were unlucky – John Stones hit the crossbar.

In the second half, the title champion mostly possessed the ball, but despite all this, Demarai Gray equalized the score for the “candies” (min. 64).

The score did not change, but City lost important points.

Arsenal take on Brighton at 7.30pm.
