Massive result for Arsenal. Like you said, not as good as it could have been, but if they win their games, there is nothing City can do now. If they don’t win it from here, they never will.
As does Kári Tulinius:
If the City fans in the stands had been told at the beginning of the match that they’d draw they’d have been disappointed, but that’s not how they reacted to Doku’s equalizer. The beauty of football is that every match creates its own emotional journey.
Doku’s second curler was with his right foot, I should add. He was the standout tonight.
Zach Neeley writes in: “Arsenal fan here. I’m quite happy.”
Everton lost a two-goal lead and conceded in added time once again. Manchester City need Arsenal to slip up. They’ll be pleased in north London, but it could have been even better.
Is anyone happy after that?
FULL-TIME! Everton 3-3 Manchester City
A truly ridiculous second half.
Donnarumma is up for another corner as the ball breaks for Doku by the edge of the area … and he launches another curler past Pickford! Wow!
GOAL! Everton 3-3 Manchester City (Doku 90+7)
Oh my days!
90+6 min: Donnarumma does get a head on it but Everton clear away …
90+5 min: Iroegbunam is down for Everton as Donnarumma goes up for a corner …
90+4 min: Mykolenko delivers a crucial tackle to stop Marmoush getting through on goal.
90+3 min: Everton, I must repeat, have not beaten Manchester City in nine years.
90+2 min: Röhl and Dewsbury-Hall are off for Everton, with Patterson and Alcaraz on.
90+1 min: We’ve got six extra minutes. Pickford awkwardly punches a cross before catching it. Barry is back in the right-back region to defend for Everton.
90 min: Everton have conceded late winners against Liverpool and West Ham in recent weeks. Can they hold this?
89 min: Keane gets in the way of Marmoush before Dewsbury-Hall wins a free-kick inside his half. Everton are battling away as City search for any kind of opening.
87 min: Marmoush is on for Bernardo Silva. Cherki takes the free-kick before Foden lines up a hit from outside the area … it flies wide of the top left corner.
86 min: Doku dances down the left and is too quick for O’Brien, who has to pull him down. Free-kick and a yellow.
Kovacic, on for González, slides in a wonderful, splitting pass and Haaland, bursting through the middle, is there for the expert, dinked finish.
GOAL! Everton 3-2 Manchester City (Haaland 83)
Well, this is a little ridiculous.
The impressive Röhl skips down the right, launches a hopeful shot that deflects off Khusanov, straight to Barry for the simplest of tap-ins.
GOAL! Everton 3-1 Manchester City (Barry 81)
City have had 75% of the ball in this half … but it means nothing. Because Everton have a third!
80 min: Iroegbunam slides in to win the ball in midfield. That’s a real cruncher.
78 min: City have a free-kick from shooting range … and Cherki, searching for the top right corner, sends it wide.
77 min: “It’s the stadium and Moyes doing this,” writes Gary Naylor.
75 min: Foden has replaced Semenyo … and here comes the electric Ndiaye again. He cuts in from the left but shoots straight at Donnarumma. That was another massive chance, City cut open again.
It’s an excellent ball towards the front post and O’Brien leaps higher than González to head in from close range. Forget what I said a moment ago, they’re in serious trouble.
GOAL! Everton 2-1 Manchester City (O’Brien 73)
They’re dancing in north London!
72 min: Ndiaye twists and turns inside the City area after winning the ball of Khusanov … but Guéhi slides in at the last minute to deny the Everton man a shot. The hosts have a corner.
Marc Guéhi plays a dreadful, loose backpass to Donnarumma and Barry takes over to slot in a simple finish. It’s initially ruled as offside and certainly appears so … but there’s a check: with Guéhi deliberately playing the ball Barry is back on. And City are suddenly in a bit of trouble.
