Everton hold on to earn a vital point in a 1-1 draw with Manchester City. The hosts dominated the first half and took the lead through Haaland, who poked home from the middle of the box before Stones sent a diving header against the post just before the break. Everton managed just one shot on target in the whole game, but it was an important one as Gray broke quickly on the counter and curled a lovely effort over Ederson into the top corner. City pushed but just couldn't find the late winner they were searching for.

Guardiola will be fairly pleased with what he's seen so far but will be expecting more from his side in the second half by testing Pickford more regularly. As for Everton, apart from a few bright spells, they've struggled to get into the game. They've done fairly well at the back so far, but they need to take more risks if they want something out of this match.

Haaland's goal gives Manchester City a 1-0 lead over Everton at half-time. City dominated the first half, but for all of their possession, they didn't create too many chances. Haaland's goal was the only shot on target in the game, as he poked home Mahrez's cross after a great bit of play from the Algerian. Stones also hit the post with a diving header, while Everton didn't manage a single shot at the other end.
