Ben: As an Everton fan, I didn't think I'd say after the match that I'd be disappointed with a draw, but this was two dropped points. The bad defending on City's second goal and Ndiaye's disappointing finishing will haunt me. City honestly offered nothing except for Doku.

Everton fans are nursing a familiar feeling of heartbreak after their side let a two-goal lead slip in stoppage time, settling for a dramatic 3-3 draw against Manchester City. For the Toffees, this wasn't just a point gained—it felt like two points lost.

The match had everything: brilliant attacking play, defensive lapses, and a late twist that left Goodison Park stunned. Everton stormed into a 3-1 lead with just eight minutes remaining, only for City to claw their way back and snatch a share of the spoils deep into injury time. It's the third consecutive game where Everton have dropped points in added time, a worrying trend that has fans questioning whether it's bad luck or something more fundamental.

Ben, an Everton supporter, summed up the frustration: "I never thought I'd be disappointed with a draw against City, but this was two dropped points. The defending on their second goal and Ndiaye's finishing will haunt me. City offered nothing except Doku—they were poor and didn't deserve a point. But somehow, they found a way."

Stuart echoed the sentiment: "Hard to criticize our performance, but we should have won. That's three games in a row conceding in added time, and it's probably ended our European hopes. With better finishing, we could have had five."

Manager David Moyes came under fire for his late-game tactics. Jeff was particularly critical: "Bringing on three substitutes after the 90th minute to waste time was cowardly. It broke our momentum and backfired, just like against Arsenal. It reminds me of his first spell here. Europe is slipping away."

On the City side, Jeremy Doku was a standout performer, terrorizing the Everton defense with his pace and skill. Kenneth noted: "Very poor defensively, but Doku was outstanding. The title now looks Arsenal's—I can't see them dropping points, and their run-in looks easier than City's."

Daniel offered a balanced view: "It shows how tough Everton are to beat under Moyes. City should have been out of sight in the first half, but they were too busy playing entertaining football instead of being clinical."

Elaine added: "All that first-half possession meant nothing. A lapse from Guehi and bringing Kovacic on didn't work. And Cherki needs to stop showboating."

For Everton fans, the pain is real—but so is the promise. This is a team that can go toe-to-toe with the Premier League's best. The challenge now is learning how to close out games when it matters most.
