They played perhaps their worst first half of the season, and still managed to win. The goal was scored by the celestial pearl, thanks to a Keane’s mistake who gave him the ball in the small area. Pickford had saved Everton before, and the VAR would do it later with City. Nail rodrigo hands in the area were not penalties because the technology detected a off foreplaywho saved City with three minutes to go.
Goodison’s afternoon ended marked by the embrace between Zinchenko and Mykolenko, Ukrainian compatriots, and ended up consolidated as a key date in the race for the Premier. After falling last weekend against Tottenham, Guardiola sacrificed Walker eleven to let Stones in, but the team lacked much depth in attack.

Guardiola needed something more after the break if he didn’t want to give Liverpool the opportunity to equal them on points in the table. City improved with Foden and Bernardo on the wings. The Portuguese was the great source of oxygen for the Mancunians in the second half, and chances began to arrive. Foden first impaled a delicious service from Bernardo to repel him Pickford.

Again Bernardo took out a poisonous center, which rubbed on Holgate and ended with Keane failing to clear. The ball was dead in the small area, where, as an area mouse, Foden pushed the ball into the net.
