Everton star Demarai Gray explains what he was thinking before scoring wonder goal vs Man City

Everton winger Demarai Gray has admitted that he was unsure what to do before scoring the wonder strike which cost Manchester City two points at the Etihad Stadium on New Year's Eve.

The Blues had the better of the first half and went in at the interval ahead thanks to another goal for Erling Haaland. City started brightly in the second 45 but their momentum was almost immediately squashed when there was a stoppage after the assistant referee's communication technology broke.

That moment appeared to help Everton regroup and they were level when an uncharacteristic mistake from Rodri allowed Gray the opportunity to place the ball beyond Ederson. City pushed for a winner with Kevin De Bruyne, Riyad Mahrez and Rodri all going close but Frank Lampard's men were able to see the game out.
