• The City team, which suffered a painful failure (2: 3) against Tothenburg’s Hotspur last week, was only three points ahead of Vice-Liverpool, so Manchesterian Everton could not afford to lose points against this season’s failed performance.
• Most of the game’s outstanding performance at Everton Fortress was shown by England goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, who rescued his unit after a series of very dangerous strikes from the visitors. In the 82nd minute, Pickford was let down by the defenders of the court, after the error of “Everton” footballers Filam Foden sent the ball from the short distance into the fortress – 1: 0.
• It should be mentioned that before the game, the footballers of both teams, as well as the fans, showed their support for Ukraine’s struggle for independence – Everton players held Ukrainian flags on their shoulders, while City took care of support shirts. A particularly emotional moment was for City defender Oleksandr Zinchenko and Everton football player Vitaly Mikolenko, who did not play on the pitch tonight.
