Everton 2-1 Manchester City - 6 Things We Learned

5. Ramiro Funes Mori Is Gradually Improving

Everton have leaked goals since long-serving defender Phil Jagielka was sidelined through injury, which has led some to point the finger at summer recruit Ramiro Funes Mori and question whether he has the mettle to be a Premier League regular. On this evening€™s evidence, there€™s reason to believe that Mori is making progress and adapting to the English game. He was on the same wavelength as defensive partner John Stones throughout the night, the pair linking up to maintain a high line against Aguero. Mori also proved that he can keep a cool head when it counts by drilling in Everton€™s opener from inside the box after Barkley€™s effort from outside the area proved too hot for City goalkeeper Caballero to handle.
