Sam: I'm happy with the way we played and I'm confident we'll do well or better in subsequent matches. With the way Everton played, any team would have struggled to score - they had all their players in defence! We were just unlucky, but overall we played well. Also, we cannot expect City to win the league every season.

Bernardo Silva scored an early goal but Erling Haaland missed a penalty as struggling Manchester City could only muster a single point in a 1-1 Premier League draw with Everton to kick off a full slate of Boxing Day games on Thursday.

Haaland had the chance to set the four-time defending champion on course for only its second win in 13 games when stepping up for a second-half spot kick at the Etihad Stadium. But he was denied by Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and City's woeful recent run was extended.
