City threatened to run riot after Haaland fired in his 21st top-flight goal of the 2022/23 campaign in the 24th minute.

But the Toffees played their way back into the game, and got their reward just after the hour mark with a stunning curling effort from Gray.

The ex-Leicester forward picked up the ball down the left flank where he proceeded to cut in.

But after getting past Manuel Akanji, he slipped as he went to take a shot, before quickly getting back to his feet to unleash an inch-perfect bending strike.

Brazilian goalkeeper Ederson was helpless between the sticks as he watched the ball nestle into the top corner.

Danny Mills was left almost speechless by Gray's effort, as he waxed lyrical over his composure after momentarily hitting the deck.

Speaking on marvelbet369.commentary, he said: "Wow, unbelievable!

"I thought the chance had gone, he stumbled, but he comes back inside, opens his body up, slips, come back up, and that is proper postage stamp stuff.

"He bent it into the top corner, wow.

"What an unbelievable finish that is."

He added: "You're not stopping that with two goalkeepers."

Mills continued: "It's the fact that he slips and keeps his composure, Ederson simply watched it and thought, 'I'm not going to get that.'"

Everton failed to threaten for the rest of the game as they defended resolutely until the final whistle to earn a share of the spoils.

It's a massive result for Frank Lampard who went into the game under huge pressure following Everton's defeat to Wolves last week.

As for City, they will be left fuming as they know Arsenal can end 2022 sitting seven points ahead at the top of the table should they beat Brighton.
