Manchester City Draws with Everton in Premier League Thriller as MLS Sees Inter Miami Upset

The result left Manchester City trailing in the title race, as the six-goal encounter unfolded on Saturday. Everton took an early lead, but Manchester City fought back before the late drama secured a point for Pep Guardiola's side. The match saw both teams exchange goals throughout, starting with Everton's opener followed by Manchester City's responses.

Despite the equalizer, the draw represented a setback for Manchester City, who had aimed for a win to bolster their position at the top of the table. Reports from the game highlighted the intensity, with multiple sources describing it as a thriller.

Orlando City overcame a 3-0 deficit to defeat Inter Miami 4-3 in an MLS match on Sunday, marking only the third such comeback in league history. Martín Ojeda scored a hat-trick for Orlando City, leading the turnaround against their in-state rivals. Lionel Messi contributed a goal and two assists for Inter Miami, but the team could not hold onto their lead.

Inter Miami had built an early advantage, with contributions from players including Ian Fray, but defensive lapses allowed Orlando City to capitalize. The loss extended Inter Miami's winless streak to four games since opening their new stadium in April.

Orlando City's victory came despite being considered one of the league's weaker sides this season.

“Yes, I’m not going to lie.”

Struggles and Management Changes Inter

Miami's defense has conceded twice as many goals this season compared to the same point in 2025, following offseason losses of Jordi Alba and Sergio Busquets. New additions like Dayne St Clair, Micael, and Sergio Reguilón have not resolved transition issues, with midfield giveaways adding to vulnerabilities.

The team sits third in the Eastern Conference, supported largely by standout performances from Lionel Messi and others. Management shifts have compounded challenges, with Javier Mascherano resigning as head coach earlier this season along with his staff.

Guillermo Hoyos, previously the sporting director, now leads the team but provided only a brief media response after the loss. Players like Maxi Falcón and Micael underperformed against Orlando City, while Noah Allen and Ian Fray offered more reliable efforts.

The Philadelphia Union played to a 0-0 draw against Nashville SC on Saturday, marked by 16-year-old Cavan Sullivan's visible frustration upon substitution in the 68th minute. Sullivan, starting his third league match of the year, reacted strongly to being replaced by Agustín Anello for tactical reasons related to physicality.

Head coach Bradley Carnell praised Sullivan's performance post-match, attributing the change to countering Nashville's substitutions like Andy Najar. Sullivan's limited starts have raised questions about his development, especially with a future transfer clause to Manchester City when he turns 18.

The Union have struggled in the Eastern Conference, needing creativity that Sullivan could provide. Despite the outburst, Carnell noted it was not performance-related.

FC continues to exclude Chucky Lozano from team activities, with head coach Mikey Varas stating there is no chance of his return despite the player's $7.4 million annual salary. " San Diego nearly won but conceded a late goal to Ryan Hollingshead in stoppage time.

The team has had a poor start to the season, prompting calls for Lozano's reintegration. Lozano has trained separately and shared videos highlighting his isolation. The standoff has drawn attention amid San Diego's on-field struggles.
