Jeremy Doku gave the visitors the lead in the first half, before the Toffees rallied back after the break.

Thierno Barry came off the bench to make it 1-1, before Jake O’Brien headed Everton in front.

Barry scored again, but Erling Haaland and Doku salvaged a draw at the Hill Dickinson.

Guardiola said: “We played an outstanding first half. It was so difficult with their physicality.

“Second half, they made a step up. We didn’t have as much control and we gave away the goal. After that they come back and make a proper English game, so aggressive in the duels.

“But in general, we made a really good performance.

“Everton away is always difficult and I give credit to them for their composure and aggression.”
