Haaland Misses Key Penalty in Everton Draw

In a disappointing 1-1 draw against Everton, Manchester City's Erling Haaland missed a crucial penalty, which Pep Guardiola labeled a pivotal moment. City initially took the lead through Bernardo Silva, but Everton equalized with a goal from Iliman Ndiaye. Haaland's penalty was saved by goalkeeper Jordan Pickford after a series of psychological tactics employed by Everton players, particularly Seamus Coleman. Guardiola emphasized the need for his team to mentally bounce back, as City has now won only one of their last 13 matches in all competitions. Despite the setback, Haaland has a solid penalty record overall, scoring 44 out of 51 in his career, with four misses occurring while playing for City. The missed penalty marks Haaland's third miss of the year, raising concerns given his previously perfect record from the spot during his time at Borussia Dortmund.
