Manchester City faced off against Everton at the Hill Dickinson Stadium earlier tonight as they hoped to earn a win on the road in the Premier League. Pep Guardiola’s men made a bright start to the game and scored the opening goal in the 43rd minute thanks to Jeremy Doku’s finish. Man City went into the half-time break 1-0 up on the scoreline.
Thierno Barry equalised for the home team in the 68th minute before Jake O’Brien completed the turnaround just five minutes later. Barry scored again for Everton in the 81st minute, but Erling Haaland got a goal back just a couple of minutes later. Doku ended up scoring the equaliser for the visitors in injury time. The match ended with Man City earning a last-gasp 3-3 draw away from home.
