bad day for Toffees
By: 21 | April 27th, 2009Everton’s eight match unbeaten streak at Goodison came to an end with a 2-1 loss to Man City on Saturday afternoon. Following the success in the FA Cup and the positive mid-week draw at Stamford Bridge, the performance was definitely short on intensity. While the loss certainly is missed chance to overtake Aston Villa the real concern was the serious injury to Phil Jagielka who torn his ACL and will not be available till mid next season.
The Toffees gave up the lead five minutes past the half-hour as Robinho got under a Elano’s long pass before slotting in past Tim Howard. Opportunities were sparse in what was ever increasingly a “off-day” as City made in 2-0 six minutes before the hour as free and clear Stephen Ireland volleyed Robinho’s provision. Danny Gosling added a consolation goal late but there was no coming back and Everton dropped 2-1 to Man City.
Next up for Everton is Sunderland on Sunday and with the Black Cats in the wild and wholly relegation fight it will be a very high-strung match.
