Glass half-full or half-empty for Everton?

Everton had kept three straight clean sheets coming into the Manchester City game and although their backline was breached, they have now managed credible consecutive draws against Arsenal, Chelsea and here against City.

Whether their glass is half-full or half-empty at present depends on perspective.

Boss Sean Dyche will point to his side being difficult to beat, having lost only two of their past 13 top-flight matches - but on the other hand, they have won only three of their 17 games so far this season.

This draw leaves them in 15th place, edging five points clear of the relegation zone, and it came through Ndiaye's exquisite effort, which was thoroughly enjoyed by the travelling supporters.

They could have snatched it late on when Orel Mangala's deflected strike wrong-footed Stefan Ortega but the ball drifted the wrong side of the post, leaving Everton the happier side with the result but without a victory against City in their past 16 meetings.
