Manchester City defender John Stones criticised Everton for time-wasting after the two teams shared the spoils at the Etihad Stadium.
City had the better of the first half and were in front on 24 minutes when Erling Haaland beat Jordan Pickford after being set up by Riyad Mahrez. The game had an overall feisty feel to it and the Norwegian talisman was booked when he flew into a rash challenge just before the end of the half.
Any momentum City had following the interval evaporated when the game was halted for a long period after a technology malfunction for the assistant referee. Once the game restarted, Everton equalised.
