Leaving the Etihad Stadium is rarely deflating but following the result against Everton this weekend, many will have felt a sinking feeling.
City had the better of the first half against Frank Lampard's Toffees and deservedly went into the interval a goal up. However, instead of inspired play from the opposition turning the match around, it was actually a moment out of both teams' control which would swing the match back into the balance.
During a lengthy stoppage, while the assistant referee's communication technology was fixed, Everton managed to break City's rhythm and were level following an uncharacteristic mistake from Rodri and a piece of brilliance from Demarai Gray. The Blues pushed for the winner but credit must go to the relegation-threatened visitors who managed to frustrate the hosts to earn a creditable point.
