  • Erling Haaland had a second-half penalty saved as Manchester City's astonishing slump continued with a 1-1 draw against lowly Everton at the Etihad Stadium. Haaland had the chance to end his longest goal drought at the Etihad but his spot-kick was that of a striker short in confidence as Pickford dived low to his right to make the save.

In a recent Premier League match, Manchester City drew 1-1 with Everton, a result that saw them miss an opportunity to close the gap on league leaders Arsenal. The game was marked by a significant moment when Erling Haaland, Manchester City's star striker, missed a penalty in the second half. This miss was particularly costly as it could have given City the lead. Everton took the lead through a goal by Jack Harrison, but Manchester City managed to equalize with a goal from Haaland, albeit not from the penalty spot. The draw leaves Manchester City in third place, still trailing Arsenal by four points, with Liverpool in second. This result underscores the competitive nature of the Premier League title race and highlights the importance of converting key chances.
