In a thrilling comeback, Manchester City rallied from a 1-0 deficit to triumph over Everton with a 3-1 win on Wednesday. This victory propels Pep Guardiola’s side five points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool as they pursue an unprecedented fourth consecutive English top-flight title.
Former City player Jack Harrison gave Everton the lead with a first-half strike at Goodison Park, putting Guardiola’s men in a challenging position. However, the resilience of the reigning champions shone through in the second half. Phil Foden leveled the score with a sensational shot in the 53rd minute, and Julian Alvarez secured the lead for Manchester City from the penalty spot. The match concluded with Bernardo Silva capitalizing on an error from Everton’s Jordan Pickford, securing a convincing victory for the visitors.
City, coming off their Club World Cup triumph in Saudi Arabia, showcased their determination to maintain high standards, especially after a series of less-than-ideal results in the league. Currently sitting in fourth place with a game in hand over Liverpool, Guardiola emphasized the importance of maintaining their performance levels.
The absence of the injured Erling Haaland didn’t deter City’s pursuit of success, highlighting the squad’s depth and versatility. Despite facing early challenges, they demonstrated their mettle and secured three crucial points. On the other hand, Everton, already docked 10 points last month for financial rule breaches, faced their second consecutive defeat, leaving them precariously placed just above the relegation zone.
Manchester City always has the rise-up form after December, which they have been going through the past few seasons. The best example of that is last year’s Premier League when they were second behind Arsenal till February, but then they rose up to the occasion and started winning every game, and that made them win the league once again. However, it was also Arsenal’s fault that they could not keep up with the pressure and dropped many points at the end of the month.
