Man City 0-2 Everton: Three areas of discussion

Everton fell to a late defeat against Manchester City in a hard-fought encounter.

Pep Guardiola’s team broke the deadlock in the 85th minute when Matheus Nunes set up Nico O’Reilly with a precise cutback, and the young midfielder made no mistake. The win was sealed in added time as substitute Niko Kovacic finished from close range in front of the Park End.

Key takeaway from Goodison Park:

Moyes hits his first bump
David Moyes has been a consistent presence since rejoining Everton, with few missteps along the way. While a loss to a revitalized Manchester City isn’t a major concern on its own, this result represents the first real blemish in what has otherwise been a strong second spell for the veteran manager.
