Man City's unbeaten streak against Everton continues amidst goalkeeper heroics

The match extended their head-to-head unbeaten streak to 16 games, despite recent struggles.

The game started ominously for Everton, with Josko Gvardiol nearly breaking the deadlock within the first five minutes, his header crashing against the post.

However, the visitors were soon behind when Jeremy Doku delivered a precise ball into the box, which Bernardo Silva converted via a deflection past Jordan Pickford.

Everton, undeterred by the early setback, fought back with determination. Idrissa Gana Gueye made his presence felt with a fierce half-volley, which was well saved by Stefan Ortega.

The equalizer came not long after, with Iliman Ndiaye capitalizing on a poor clearance to smash a half-volley into the top corner from Abdoulaye Doucoure's cross.

Post-interval, the match took a dramatic turn when Everton's Vitalii Mykolenko fouled Savinho in the box, leading to a penalty. However, Erling Haaland, usually unerring from the spot, saw his effort saved by Pickford.

Gvardiol then headed the rebound into Haaland's path, but the striker was ruled offside.

Pep Guardiola, perhaps seeing his team's vulnerability, made a significant move by introducing Kevin De Bruyne in the 75th minute, though the change did little to alter the game's momentum.

The match was further complicated for City when Nathan Ake limped off injured, adding to Guardiola's growing list of concerns.

This draw leaves Manchester City in sixth place, highlighting their recent dip in form. On the other hand, Everton have shown resilience, losing just once in their last seven games, though their tally includes five draws, positioning them 15th in the league.

Sean Dyche has said, "We knew it would be tough at the Etihad, but the team showed great character to come back from behind."

Guardiola reflected on the match, stating, "We need to find our rhythm again. Today was not our day, but we keep the unbeaten record against Everton."

This result underlines the unpredictable nature of the Premier League, where even champions can be held to a draw by teams fighting for survival.
