Manchester City’s struggles continued as Erling Haaland’s second-half penalty miss left the champions frustrated in a 1-1 draw against Everton at the Etihad Stadium.
Bernardo Silva’s opener was canceled out by Iliman Ndiaye’s stunning equalizer, extending City’s dismal run to just one win in their last 13 matches across all competitions.
City climbed to sixth but now risk finishing the day five points adrift of the top four, as Pep Guardiola admitted his side faces their toughest Champions League qualification challenge in 15 years.
Meanwhile, Everton edged five points clear of the relegation zone with a hard-earned draw, with Jordan Pickford saving Haaland’s penalty and the visitors nearly snatching a late winner.
