Pep Guardiola insisted Manchester City did enough to win against Everton, and his only frustration after the draw was with dropping two points.
City created a number of chances in the first half, taking the lead through Erling Haaland and dominating possession. However, after a bright start to the second half was halted by a ten-minute stoppage for the assistant referee to fix his communication equipment, Everton equalised through Demarai Gray's stunning strike and City struggled to rediscover their rhythm.
Riyad Mahrez and Kevin De Bruyne went close, while other opportunities in the box were snuffed out just before a shot could be taken, and City had to settle for a point ahead of Arsenal's trip to Brighton that could see the gap to first place increase to seven points.
