Without Sergio Aguero, Man City lack that spark

Anyone would miss a striker with 30 Premier League goals in his last 33 games in the top flight, however, a squad with City's aspirations shouldn't be totally dependant on one footballer. When Aguero went off injured, it was clear City lacked any drive or impetus and, if it wasn't for the penalty, they might never have taken the lead.

Everton are going backwards

Under David Moyes tenure, the Toffees established themselves us a top seven team. Then, when Roberto Martinez took over at Goodison Park, Everton kicked on again and ran Arsenal very close for fourth spot with many expecting Martinez's side to go one step further this season. However, all isn't right with Everton at the moment, and they need to sort things out and fast.

Premier League title race is very much alive

At the end of the day, it is a results-based business and Man City are now just three points behind Chelsea even if the Citizens' performance against Everton wasn't the most impressive.
