Godfrey And Tarkowski Get 7 | Everton Players Rated In Tough Loss Vs Manchester City | OneFootball

Everton faced off against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium earlier today as they hoped to secure a win on the road in the Premier League. The Toffees made a decent start to the game and managed to get to the half-time break with a 0-0 scoreline.

The Merseyside club finally conceded the opening goal in the 71st minute when Erling Haaland scored with a powerful strike. Haaland doubled Man City’s lead in the 85th minute as Everton crashed to a tough 2-0 loss away from home.

Let’s take a look at how each Everton player performed during the match against Man City.

GK: Jordan Pickford – 6/10

He made one good save at the back but conceded two late goals today.

RB: Ben Godfrey – 7/10

Godfrey cleared the danger when he could and was a threat going forward.

CB: James Tarkowski – 7/10

He made a lot of important clearances inside his half and was good on the ball.

CB: Jarrad Branthwaite – 6.5/10

Branthwaite kept things solid at the back for most of the game but got overpowered by Haaland in the lead-up to Man City’s second goal.

Gueye got stuck in with a few solid tackles and made one inviting chance in the final third.

CM: James Garner – 7/10

He was a positive influence at both ends of the pitch.

RW: Ashley Young – 6/10

Young performed his defensive duties well but lacked quality in the opponent’s half.

CAM: Jack Harrison – 6/10

He caused a few problems for his marker but never looked like he would score.

LW: Dwight McNeil – 6.5/10

McNeil was a threat at times but failed to register a goal.

He worked hard but there was no goal for him.

Substitutes:

RB: Seamus Coleman – 6/10

He failed to keep things tidy at the back.
