Everton 0-0 Man City

Jordan Pickford makes an absolute mess of the resulting corner. He misjudges the flight and it goes over him at the back post.

However City also get it wrong at the back post. Nico Gonzalez stretches and takes it off the head of Nico O’Reilly.

The closest the visitors have come.

Matheus Nunes gets in behind the Everton defence and a blocked cross falls for Kevin de Bruyne.

He strikes it really well with his left foot but Jake O’Brien is on the line to head behind for a corner.

Everton fans want a penalty for handball against Savinho, but nothing doing.

Pep Guardiola will be disappointed with what he has seen so far. They started reasonably well but Everton have grown into the game now and are looking dangerous on the break.

There’s a testimonial look about Manchester City with the speed they are playing at.

They have even taken a foul throw – that’s Sunday League stuff!

A mistake from Josko Gvardiol allows Abdoulaye Doucoure to get in behind initially. However the Croatia defender is able to get back and he blocks the cross. It even rebounds off Doucoure for a goal kick. Good defending in the end.

Criminal from Matheus Nunes, as the referee blows for a foul throw.

That should be a bookable offence for a professional footballer.

Sums up this game really.
