Premier League: Foden helps Man City defeat Everton

It was a contentious VAR decision that will be celebrated in Manchester's blue half and grieved in Merseyside's red half. Manchester City was defending a 1-0 lead at Everton after Phil Foden's slightly fortuitous 82nd-minute strike when Rodri appeared to hand away a penalty in stoppage time after a spinning ball struck his outstretched right arm. The on-field referee couldn't see it, and after a lengthy video review, it was determined that the ball impacted Rodri high enough up his arm to avoid a penalty.

City hung on for a victory that extended their Premier League lead to six points over Liverpool, which was hoping for a break from their rival. Everton came close to providing it. Lampard's team had been troubling City and even looked dangerous on the counterattack, only to surrender an unlucky goal when a Bernardo Silva cross took two deflections off Mason Holgate and then Michael Keane before reaching Foden directly in front of goal.
