The second day of Boxing Day gave a great game this Wednesday at Goodison Park, in which the Manchester City de Pep Guardiolaback in the Premier after winning the Club World Cup, came back against the Everton to, with one game less, place 4th, in the Champions zone. He City is currently 5 points behind the leader, the Liverpool de Jurgen Klopp (with one more game for the ‘reds’, who on Tuesday won 0-2 at Burnley). It was the sixth game that the ‘citizens’ played without Erling Haaland, recovering from a stress injury to the foot bone.
He Everton He is a very difficult rival for anyone, even more so since 10 points were deducted for failing to comply with the Premier’s financial regulations, a sanction that placed him second to last. In that difficult moment, the ‘Toffees’ team began a great streak. And how dangerous the Goodison Park team is was demonstrated again against the Manchester City.
Furthermore, something that rarely happens happened on Wednesday night. A big mistake Rodri It meant an assist from the Madrid midfielder for the midfielder of the Everton Dwight McNeilwho in turn sent the ball to Jack Harrison. Y Harrison He didn’t waste it: he put the team ahead Sean Dyche against the set of Pep Guardiola. It was the 29th minute.
The match reached half-time with 0-1 after a first half in which Jordan Pickfordgoalkeeper of Evertoncarried out several good interventions, at gunshots Matheus Nunes, Julián Álvarez and Jack Grealish.
But the machine Manchester City got going in the second half to start the comeback. First was Phil Foden who scored a great goal from outside the area in the 53rd minute, after receiving a ball from Bernard Silva. Foden himself was about to score the second a minute later.

Then, in the 64th minute, there was a handball by Amadeu Onana (after a shot by Nathan Aké) and Julián Álvarez converted the penalty, although Pickford managed to touch the ball. And finally in the 86th minute Bernardo Silva beat Jordan Pickford (who made a mistake and had bad luck) with Vaseline. Between the second and third of the CityCalvert-Lewin was able to score the second of the Everton. The ball went just wide.
Neither Harrison’s goal following a mistake by Rodri nor the great interventions by Pickford were enough for Everton, who instead made a mistake in Manchester City’s third goal. The ‘Toffees’ dreamed of defeating the ‘citizens’, but Dyche has never beaten Pep Guardiola (17 defeats and a draw against the City coach) and this time he didn’t do it either.
