The second day of Boxing Day gave a good game this Wednesday at Goodison Park, where the Pep Guardiola’s Manchester Cityreturned to the Premier after winning the Club World Cup, was back against the Everton in, with less games, place 4th, in the Champions zone. He city is currently 5 points behind the leader, the Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool (with one more game for the ‘reds’, who on Tuesday won 0-2 in Burnley). This is the sixth game that the ‘citizens’ have not played Erling Haaland, recovery from a stress injury in the leg bone.
He Everton He was a tough rival for anyone, especially since 10 points were deducted for not complying with the Premier’s financial regulations, a penalty that put him second last. In that difficult moment, the ‘Toffees’ team started a great streak. And just how dangerous the Goodison Park team was again shown against City of Manchester.
Furthermore, something rare happened on Wednesday night. A big mistake Rodri This means help from the midfielder of Madrid for the midfielder of Everton Dwight McNeilwho in turn sent the ball to Jack Harrison. AND Harrison He didn’t waste it: he put the team first Sean Dyche against the set of Pep Guardiola. It’s the 29th minute.
The match went into half-time with 0-1 after the first half where Jordan Pickfordgoalkeeper of Evertonmade some good interventions, with gunshots Matheus Nunes, Julián Álvarez or Jack Grealish.
But the machine City of Manchester go into the second half to start the comeback. First is Phil Foden who scored a beautiful goal from outside the area in the 53rd minute, after receiving the ball from Bernard Silva. Foden himself came close to scoring a second a minute later.
Then, in the 64th minute, there was a handball by Amadeu Onana (after Nathan Aké’s shot) and Julián Álvarez converted the penalty, although Pickford got hold of the ball. And finally in the 86th minute Bernardo Silva beat Jordan Pickford (who made a mistake and was unlucky) with Vaseline. Between the second and third of cityCalvert-Lewin scored in the second of Everton. The ball just expanded.
Harrison’s goal following Rodri’s error or Pickford’s excellent interventions were not enough for Everton, who instead conceded Manchester City’s third goal. The ‘Toffees’ dreamed of beating the ‘citizens’, but Dyche had never beaten Pep Guardiola (17 defeats and a draw against the City coach) and this time he couldn’t either.
