But Geuhi, who is total control of his actions, the decides to back pass the ball to the keeper at which point the attacker goes from offside to an onside position.

Barry intercepts the pass and finishes it past Donnarumma to make it 1-1.

The goal is initially disallowed as offside but after a VAR check, the referee’s decision is overturned and the goal stands.

Second-half collapse as Everton turn the game around

The goal from Barry started a full blow Manchester City collapse as Everton have gone on to score two more goals in quick succession to make it 3-1.

Five minutes after the Guehi disaster, Everton win a corner. Garner whips in a cross from the corner and Jake O’Brien simply heads home to make it 2-1.

And eight minutes later, another mistake at the back leads to another Everton goal.

Merlin Rohl beats Mateo Kovacic and appears to take a shot which deflects and falls kindly to Thierno Barry to tap home his second of the night and Everton’s third.

"They are seeing their title ambitions vaporise here!"
