Jordan Pickford's penalty antics put off Erling Haaland before his big MISS for Man City, as water bottle cheat sheet for the Everton keeper emerges

Jordan Pickford was up to his old tricks again at Manchester City as he pulled a string of offputting faces to distract Erling Haaland before the striker missed his penalty.

The home side, who came into the match having only won one Premier League match in their last eight while conceding a hatful of goals, released some pressure early in the contest after a deflected Bernardo Silva effort found the Everton net.

But City's now familiar struggles reared their head once more as Pep Guardiola's men struggled to create chances of note and the Toffees made them pay later in the half as Iliman Ndiaye stabbed home a wonderful effort to level things up.
