Every shot was right at him, not 1 single difficult save in that game.
16 min: Ooh, that’s a good save from Howard! Sagna, who provided that cross for Aguero against Watford, swings over a lovely curving cross, and Toure meets it well … but Howard parries! Good firm hands to keep out: the unmarked Toure got power in the header.
29 min: Otamendi wins the header, but he can’t get the direction, and Howard claims, safely. That was a good stop earlier by the
Everton goalie on Toure, by the way.
60 min: Howard blocks from Aguero! Aguero caught it on the volley, 15 yards out, but it was straight at the goalie. Either side of him and City would be ahead, but Howard did well: it came quickly at him.
65 min: Dealt with well by
Everton, but City pick it up on halfway and move forward again. Sterling dribbles, feints, delays, and finally shoots from a wideish position, but Howard saves with his legs! Serious pressure here by Man City. Corner.
66 min: Baines does well to smack it clear. But it come back to Navas, who drills one across the face of goal … and Howard with a kick-save! No one could follow up for City!
Everton are under the cosh.
69 min: Demichelis came through the back of Lukaku, but no foul called, and City counter-attack. Aguero is in … but Howard foils him again! Aguero got the wrong side of the defender, but Howard came up big with the save!
Everton successfully defended 12 corners too!
