Everton vs Man City LIVE: Premier League result, final score and reaction


Guardiola on Zinchenko: ‘He has our support’

Follow all the action as Manchester City travel to Everton in the Premier League today

Not too long ago, Pep Guardiola’s men looked like the champions-elect but a brilliant run of form from Liverpool, combined with a City’s surprising draw at Southampton and even more shocking defeat at home to Spurs, means the title race is back on. With the Reds otherwise engaged in Carabao Cup final duty this weekend, Guardiola’s troops do have the opportunity to re-establish a six-point lead at the top of the table however and put the pressure back on their rivals.

Everton may not be particularly inclined to do their fierce Merseyside rivals in favor but the Toffees’ own situation means that three points is far more valuable than any schadenfreude they might get by denting Liverpool’s title ambitions. Frank Lampard has inherited a club heading in the wrong direction and they are now firmly entrenched in a relegation battle with the business end of the season approaching. A 3-0 victory over Leeds earlier this month was a rare high point in an otherwise bleak couple of months and with the likes of Newcastle and Burnley hitting form, the Toffees’ record of never having been relegated in the Premier League era is starting to look in serious jeopardy.

Everton 0 – 1 Man City

86 mins: No penalty! VAR comes to Manchester City’s rescue. It’s a poor decision. At the very least the referee should have been sitting over to the pitch side monitor. Rodri stuck out his arm in an attempt to control the ball and it hits his arm below the t-line on his sleeve. Manchester City have got away with one, it will be interesting to see how the VAR came to that decision.

85 mins: There’s a thunderous appeal for handball in the Manchester City box. Everton play Richarlison into the left side of the box and he has a shot stopped by Ederson. The ball comes loose and hits Rodri on the right arm. It’s going to VAR. Even more late drama?

74 mins: Everton break on the counter attack with Iwobi sliding the ball inside to Doucoure. He brings it into the middle of the pitch and laces a threaded ball into the left side of the box for Gordon. John Stones does well to force Gordon wide and narrow the angle to shoot. When the shot does come Gordon punts it wide of the near post.

66 mins: Save! Phil Foden is played down the left wing and whips a cross into the box that gets headed out by Jonjoe Kenny. The ball bounces nicely for the arriving John Stones and he laces a fine effort at goal forcing Jordan Pickford to parry it up into the air then recover the ball.
