Erling Haaland missed a penalty as Manchester City was held 1-1 by Everton in the Premier League. Haaland had the chance to set the four-time defending champion on course for only its second win in 13 games when stepping up for a second-half spot kick at the Etihad Stadium.

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has defended star striker Erling Haaland and said the team must "use him better" to help fix his form slump.
