against Everton at Goodison Park
Romelu Lukaku's goal in the 65th set up a tense
finish but City held on to provisionally go top of the standings on goal
difference from Liverpool. Victories in its two remaining games — at home to
Aston Villa on Wednesday and West Ham on Sunday — should clinch City a second
championship in three years. Liverpool, which lost 2-0 to Chelsea last weekend,
was looking for a big favor from its Merseyside neighbor to wrest back the
advantage in this most open title race and Barkley's goal will have been
celebrated as much across Stanley Park as by Everton fans inside Goodison Park.
The 20-year-old midfielder, looking to force his way into Roy Hodgson's England
squad for the upcoming World Cup, showed a glimpse of his undoubted class by
curling a first-time shot into the top corner from just outside the area. But
Everton was second best after that with City controlling possession and looking
more dangerous going forward — even with the 28th-minute withdrawal of Aguero
that continued his frustrating, injury-plagued second half of the season. The
Argentina striker had been signaling to City's bench that he was hampered by
his injury minutes before he sprinted onto Yaya Toure's through-ball and drove
a low shot inside goalkeeper Tim Howard's near post for his 28th — and possibly
last — goal of the season. Aguero slumped to the ground five minutes later and
was helped off the pitch, potentially making him a doubt for the World Cup.
City missed Aguero's pace going forward but, with Toure pushing further forward
in manager Manuel Pellegrini's rejigged formation, Everton's defense still
lacked pace. And just before halftime, Dzeko rose to head home James Milner's
floated cross, moments after the striker had seen his shot saved by Howard. In
a lively start to the second half, City goalkeeper Joe Hart produced a
brilliant save to tip Steven Naismith's shot around the post. City then broke
at the other end, Fernandinho clipping a pass to Nasri, who went outside his
marker and crossed low for Dzeko to prod in from six meters. The visitors
appeared to be coasting to victory but Lukaku headed in a cross from Leighton
Baines in off the post and City was suddenly under pressure. There were few
scares in a nervy final quarter, though, as City ended a four-game losing
streak at Goodison Park to become the big favorite for the title
