Haaland Misses Penalty as City Held to Draw by Everton
Manchester City were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw by Everton on Boxing Day despite taking an early lead. Bernardo Silva opened the scoring for the champions, but Illiman Ndiaye equalized for Everton before halftime.
Erling Haaland had the chance to restore City’s lead from the penalty spot in the second half, but his effort was saved by Jordan Pickford. The draw extends City’s recent struggles, with the reigning champions winning just one of their last 13 matches across all competitions.
