Postmatch editorial

The prices said close and the pitch agreed

The final score was Everton 3-3 Manchester City. The draw was not the loudest pre-match angle, but the game never fully escaped its balance.

The late equaliser came from Jérémy Doku 90+7', which kept the game level at the finish.

The raw numbers were a little messier than the result: Manchester City led Possession 25%-75%, even though the scoreboard went another way. Everton also shaded Shots on target 6-4.

Before kickoff, the median bookmaker prices made Manchester City the favourite at 69.4% implied probability. That market lean missed.
