What were the highlights of the Manchester City vs Everton match?
Well, that has read the appetite for another weekend of Premier League football. Watching Manchester City again next week at Bournemouth, who've lost their first two without scoring. That's Saturday lunchtime. West Brom hoping to make it three wins on the bounce to start their season again. Stoke, Arsenal's conquerors, kicks us off on Super Sunday. And then it's Arsenal themselves going to Anfield, also on Super Sunday. All those games available in Ultra HD and with Dolby Atmos for Sky Q subscribers. Star Wars The Collection available right now on Sky Cinema, featuring Rogue One.
Rooney!
1-0!
It's Danilo with a cross.
Sterling! Raheem Sterling rescues ten-man Manchester City.
Pulse 18 from start to finish. How was that, Jamie, to kick us off on Monday Night Football?
Great start. It was. It was a great game. I mean, probably Everton probably slightly disappointed. 1-0 up goes down to 10 men. But you have to give great credit to City's second half. The chances they created with 10 men, you know, continually putting Everton under pressure. But still looking at that, they look like they've still got big problems that we highlighted before the game defensively.
What a night it was for Everton and for Wayne Rooney, who is waiting to speak to us now. Congratulations, Wayne, on reaching the 200. But how would you sum that up right now in terms of your emotions?
Frustrating. I think going 1-0 up at half-time and obviously with the extra man, we felt we could try and see the game out and maybe nick another goal. But I think you'd have to give City credit. They changed positions a lot, made it difficult for us and, as you said, created some good chances. But I think before the game, a point would have been a good result. When we look at it in the grand scheme of things, it will be, but at the minute, a bit frustrated. What was the plan, Wayne? Just to try and frustrate them. We know they've got some quality players and they like to change positions and move the ball quickly. We just felt if we could frustrate them, get bodies behind the ball, we know we could create chances on the break.
I have to say, I thought Calvert-Lewin was fantastic today for us. He held the ball up, brought players in, and for a young lad, he's done really well today.
Is that somebody that you've been able to help already in your time with Edmonton? Have you had a lot of conversations with him about the way he can be playing as a centre-forward?
No, I think we're all trying to help each other and he's got huge potential and it was great to see him get a chance tonight. A difficult job away at City, we knew he'd have to fight for the ball and try and hold it up for us. I thought he'd done that excellently, so full credit to him. But I think at the end of the day, when we look back in a week's time, a point will be a good result for us.
How did Wayne Rooney perform in his return to Everton?
Gary, Wayne, there's a lot of talk over the last two or three years around your position, what's your best position, where you're going to play in this part of your career. You seem to play in two or three positions tonight. How has it been in this last couple of months, getting used to a new club? And also, what position do you think you'll settle into at Everton?
Yeah, I think obviously the man just made it clear he wants to play me in any of the attacking positions. As you know, guys, I've done that all my career and I think the thing with me is to play. Last year I didn't feel I played enough games and obviously if you're not playing them games you don't get that match fitness and I think I paid the price for that. But I've had a good pre-season and played a lot of games over the last few weeks and I feel good and I think that's vital for me if I'm going to play in these different positions.
How sweet was it scoring at the Etihad?
Well, again... No, of course, it was nice, obviously. Obviously, my history with Manchester United, I've scored a few times here, but to do it, obviously, today in such an important game for us, such early on in the season, we've got tough games coming up.
