MAN CITY (0) vs (1) EVERTON - FULL TIME

How is it that all of Everton's strikers are injured? Even Anichebe is out. Timmy is now listed as a striker in the team.

Arteta struck the bar in the 9th minute with his free kick and Fellaini's header follow-up struck the bar and bounced out. In the 13th minute, Howard made a tremendous save from Man City, pushing away the ball that was going into the left corner of the goal post.

Oh boy, Fellaini had a open header in the 17th minute but it missed the target. In the 27th minute, Arteta's thunderous ball was on the way towards goal, but the reflex save of opposing goalkeeper made sure that Everton does not take the lead.

Nearly scored again in the 44th minute! Fellaini nearly reached the the ball in front of goal, but it just flew past the opposing goalkeeper. Everton picked up the ball at the other end and crossed the ball that Fellaini got to it but saved by the opposing goalkeeper! It's ok to get a draw, and so long as the ball is kept at Man City half, I'm a happy man.

2nd half, I can't believe it! Nice cross by Neville, but the opposing defender just did enough to nick the ball out for a corner. Nothing came from that corner. Sigh. After that, it was a lull all the way till the 92nd minute.

Everton won a corner and was taken by Ossie. The cross came in and Timmy was there to settle the score with a lovely, lovely header! Man City 0-1 Everton. Love that boy!

Score: Man City 0-1 Everton
Scorer: Timmy
Assist: Ossie
