De Bruyne, Aguero misfire against Everton

It was a frustrating afternoon for Manchester City. Pep Guardiola's team didn't play particularly badly, but they weren't at their most cutting edge and it allowed a very organised and stubborn Everton side to battle out a hard-earned draw. The home team were probably the more deserving of the victory, though having missed two penalties they can't grumble at the outcome.

Positives

There were few positives to be taken from the match, though Kevin De Bruyne made it through 90 minutes on his return from injury earlier than expected. At times, City's forward play looked back to its best, but a mixture of resolute defending and a missed final-ball snuffed out the majority of moves.
