Erling Haaland, who was playing his 15th EPL game, stood out yet again for Pep Guardiola's side. The Norwegian found his 21st Premier League goal in the 24th minute. Everton's Demarai Gray, however, levelled it in the 2nd half, thereby hurting City's chances of inching closer to Arsenal in the table.

Marcus Rashford who was dropped from the starting late after oversleeping and arriving late, came off the bench to score a late winner and hand the Wolves a 1-0 loss at the Molineux stadium. The English footballer's 76th-minute goal helped Erik Ten Haag's men move into the top 4 after replacing Tottenham in the 4th spot.
