Everton Defeats EPL Leading Manchester City on Donovan Assist
Darron Gibson helped former team Manchester United as his first goal for Everton was enough to beat Premier League leaders Manchester City.
Denis Stracqualursi’s header was nodded off the line by Joleon Lescott as Samir Nasri hit the bar in the first half.
The hosts paraded new signing Nikica Jelavic at half-time and Gibson lifted the crowd further when he struck following Leighton Baines’ cross.
City pressed but though Nasri hit the bar again, they could not capitalise. With Manchester United winning at home to Stoke, City’s failure to get even a point means they are now only top of the Premier League on goal difference.
And the defeat has once again highlighted how Roberto Mancini’s team are missing Yaya Toure, despite the return of skipper Vincent Kompany, as they fell to their third loss of the campaign.
