What we learned from Everton 3 - 3 Manchester City How’s the heart rate? Calmed down yet? Everton, that.

Just when you thought they were back, just when they’d drawn you back in, they go and throw it away. This time, the late sucker-punch cost Everton two points, rather than led to a defeat, but it’s hard not to think of just how important that win could have been. And it would have been richly deserved, too.

Here’s a few things we learned… Football's A Game Of Two Halves There was plenty of furore when the line-up was announced, with Merlin Rohl brought in from the cold to play out on the right wing (more on that to come), and by half-time, from some of the reactions online, you’d think Everton were 4-0 down. Sure, Man City had dominated possession, but they had only created two half-openings before Everton crafted the best opportunity of the first half — Gianluigi Donnarumma denying a certain goal. Jeremy Doku, who’d come back to break our hearts later on, then provided a moment of magic, but Everton flipped the script in the second half and showed what they can do.
