Shouts for handball from Manchester City fans as the ball hits Seamus Coleman's chest in the penalty area. Never a penalty. The referee agrees too.
Into a minimum of four minutes injury time in the first half. City have dominated from start to finish.
Panic over City fans. Yaya Toure is back on and gives the thumbs up....
The physio is on dealing with Yaya Toure after he goes down holding his knee following a challenge from Muhamed Besic.
Samir Nasri's right-wing corner is met powerfully by Martin Demichelis but the defender is off radar, quite drastically. The balls flies wide. Wait a minute City fans, Yaya Toure is now down...
So close for Everton. Kevin Mirallas's volley is heading goal wards but Fernando throws his body at the shot and deflects it wide. At last something for the away fans to cheer.
Talk about an old-fashioned right winger. Jesus Navas is sticking to the flank in this opening half - as you can see from his touch map above - and is looking dangerous with almost every City attack.

"Everton have now been asked the question with the early goal, it's no good for them trying to hit City on the counter now, they have to come out and attack."
City come forward again. This time the ball falls to Jesus Navas on the edge of the penalty area but he drags horribly wide. There are goals in this for the hosts if they continue like this.
David Morris: Weird start for the referee. Penalty decision spot on but Manchester City could arguably be down to nine men.
Nick Clohessy: Eliaquim Mangala's studs to the spine, Fernando's kick to the head and Calum Chamber's little tug-back for Arsenal have all received the same punishment.

There is a real low-key feeling about proceedings at the moment. It is almost too easy for Manchester City so far.
Everton struggling to get hold of the ball half an hour into this at Etihad.
City's 18-year-old striker Jose Pozo, on for Sergio Aguero, turns smartly inside the penalty area but his shot is blocked. The loose ball falls to Yaya Toure, who also turns on a sixpence, but is eventually crowded out. Everton virtually invisible as an attacking force.
Niall McDermott: Softest penalty decision I've seen (see 22 mins). Guess Manchester City need a little luck after losing Sergio Aguero (see 6 mins).
Liz Tray: Foolish clumsy barge nowhere near the ball by Phil Jagielka but so often you see those not given. Andre Marriner took pity on Aguero-less City!

"The penalty decision looked a soft one, James Milner didn't even appeal, he tried to chase the ball after the tackle.
"But it was a lovely penalty, hard and low to the right. Tim Howard is a good shot-stopper so the pressure was on. After Aguero going off, we were looking to see where the goals would come from, and Yaya Toure, as he did last season, is so often the one to count on."
Another high foot from Manchester City and another yellow for the hosts. This time Fernando's boot hammers Gareth Barry's head. Everton boss Roberto Martinez is furious.
No mistake from the spot. Yaya Toure confidently steps up and rolls the ball into the corner of the net. Tough for Everton from here.
James Milner goes down under Phil Jagielka's challenge. The ball isn't touched and he makes contact with the man.

"Eliaquim Mangala was jumping for the ball, his foot was high and it was very uncontrolled. His eyes were on the ball, but that was a real bad one. It was strange, when you jump you don't go with your studs out in front of your body. That will be very uncomfortable for Samuel Eto'o."

"If you are wondering who Manchester City substitute Jose Pozo is, and who he plays like then maybe his nickname at City's academy, where he was known as 'Mini-Messi' might help.
"That is an awfully big tag for an 18-year-old to have, but his goalscoring for City's youth teams have gained great praise since he joined from Real Madrid in 2012. A first Premier League goal tonight would definitely enhance his reputation."
