MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) -Bernardo Silva scored an early goal but Erling Haaland missed a penalty as struggling Manchester City could only muster a single point in a 1-1 Premier League draw with Everton to kick off a full slate of Boxing Day games on Thursday.
The champions' slump has seen them win just once in their last 13 matches across all competitions -- including one of nine league games -- and they provisionally sit sixth in the table with 28 points, 11 below leaders Liverpool who have two games in hand. Pep Guardiola's team could drop to as low as eighth by the end of the day.
