At the opening of the 24th day of the Premier League, Manchester City hosted Everton this Saturday for a meeting that was far from easy despite the diametrically opposed ranking of the two teams. Needing points, the Toffees then appeared particularly organized during the first act. Slightly borrowed and clumsy, Pep Guardiola’s flock did not find the solution and did not target any shots in the first period despite a few accelerations from Jérémy Doku. Opposite, Everton were content to turn their backs. Upon returning from the locker room, this strategy inevitably showed several limitations. And the entry into play of Kevin de Bruyne on the City side inevitably reshuffled the cards (57th).

With more accuracy in the game, Manchester City finally broke the Liverpool lock thanks to the inevitable Haaland. On a poorly pushed corner, the Norwegian striker took advantage of Jarrad Branthwaite’s clumsiness to shoot Pickford and open the scoring (1-0, 71st). His first goal since his return from injury on November 25 in the Premier League. Not satisfied, the cyborg then offered himself a powerful double on a KDB caviar to complete his team’s success (2-0, 85th). Beto thought he could reduce the gap at the start of added time, but his goal was ultimately refused for obvious offside (90+1). With this success, which has been a long time coming, Manchester City is doing the right thing and is provisionally leader of the Premier League! Everton remains eighteenth.
