The Toffees could have had a penalty when Tim Cahill’s shot hit Micah Richards’ arm and also went close when Steven Pienaar’s shot hit the post. Yakubu put Everton ahead when he met Cahill’s low cross and Joleon Lescott headed home a second soon after. City lost their shape completely after the break and had Martin Petrov sent off late on for kicking Leon Osman. It ended up as a ragged performance from the home side, with central-defender Richards pushed forward in the second half to leave some huge gaps at the back. And, if Everton had taken their chances and referee Rob Styles had seen two other penalty claims differently, then this would have been an even more comprehensive victory for the Toffees.
