Demarai Gray explains how Everton managed to stop Man City and their own rot

Demarai Gray believes it is in Everton’s 'DNA' to fight and battle as he opened up on what was going through his mind ahead of his wonder goal against Manchester City.

The Blues ended a four-game losing streak at the Etihad after coming from behind to earn themselves a point. Erling Haaland scored his 27th goal of the season when he turned home Riyad Mahrez's first-half cross to give the reigning Premier League champions the lead. However, Gray scored a stunning equaliser 19 minutes after the break to ensure his side returned to Merseyside with a 1-1 draw.

There were a number of flash points during the 101 minutes of action. The major one came when Haaland was booked for a lunge on Vitaliy Mykolenko midway through the first half after previously being caught by Ben Godfrey. The prolific striker then left James Tarkowski on the floor with a flailing arm as he shielded the ball.
