Everton sees a largely unchanged side with Saha coming in for Yak. Both teams are playing from field to field for the first 10 minutes. Both sets of players are also playing a pretty tight match. But in the Man City culdron, it'll ne great if Everton can pick up three points.
You can see the commitment of both side when from a Man City cross, three players got injured. A Man City flying header, a diving attempt by Bainesy to stop the ball, and Howard pumping out the to keep that clean sheet but bumping into his upright.
Man City is slowly piling the pressure on Everton with all their overlapping runs and clean passes. Howard had to put in two good stops already. Distin has also put in a good show thus far. His strong frame has seen out many physical attacks by Man City players.
Everton leads!!!!!!!!!!! In the 32nd minute, Arteta free kick just at the edge of the box sees Bainesy striking the ball towards goal. The sneaky Timmy was there to deflect the ball towards the other end of the goal which totally wrong-footed Man City's goalkeeper. Man City 0-1 Everton. Assist: Bainesy.
The teams are back from half time with Everton having a slender lead. Everton needs to kep a clean sheet for the next five to ten minutes to put the sky blues under pressure. So close to a second goal in the 49th minute from Ossie but it was deflected for a corner. Nothing noteworthy came out from that.
Another lovely try by Timmy in the 53rd minute with an exquisite chip to try to catch the opposing goalkeeper off his line. So, so close.
Everton players such as Saha and Timmy seem to be tiring and we may thus see fresh pairs of legs, and we see that Howard is injured too. Oh my. Man City smell blood because of the injury and are attacking Everton incessantly.
Moyes is playing safe with Rodwell in for Saha in the 71st minute. Timmy might play up in attack. But I thought Timmy himself looks tired? And Moyes is not changing Howard? The pressure is still on and it looks to get only tougher.
Everton is pushing out and trying to keep the pressure off their defenders. 10 more minutes to hold on to that lead. Howard landed very uncomfortably but he just wants to continue.
Everton scores on the counter attack!!! Lovely trickery by Rodwell on the right channel. He cuts back the ball and put in a low cross. Timmy dummies the ball and Arteta was on hand to slot in the goal. Man City 0-2 Everton. Assist: Rodwell. Eat that, Lescott!!!
Excitingly, there was even an altercation between the two managers with Man City manager pushing Moyes. Wow!
Yobo is in for Arteta in the 92nd minute.
A good away win! We are going up the table. Yeah!
