Manchester City had to settle for a 1-1 draw against Everton that leaves them going nowhere fast in the Premier League
Considering Everton's recent record against Manchester City, a point at the Etihad isn't that unheard of.
Usually, it defies the logic of football though. There was the game in October 2016 where City missed two penalties, or the match in August 2017 that was so one-sided Pep Guardiola locked himself in his office after the game wondering how they were ever going to turn a domination of possession and chances into consistent victories.
On Thursday, the Merseysiders were disappointed not to have left with three. Seamus Coleman and Sean Dyche both praised the status of City as serial champions yet the reflections on the game could not be denied. "So it's always going to be a tough game and I think the lads' legs at the end on that breakaway were shattered from the shift they put in."
