After a frustrating match, Nico O'Reilly's late strike in the 84th minute from a low cross led the way, followed by Mateo Kovacic's stoppage-time goal that ensured the victory. City faced challenges throughout the match, but increased their expected goals to 2.09, contrasting with Everton's 0.93. This victory places City in fourth, just a point behind Newcastle, while marking Everton's first home loss in the league since January.
"City had to wait until the 84th minute to break the deadlock on their final trip to Goodison Park, where youngster Nico O'Reilly put them in front with a close-range finish."
"Once one goal arrived, another followed as Mateo Kovacic sealed the points with an excellent finish on the slide in stoppage time."
