When will one of the top teams take a punt on David Moyes? That was a victory for organisation, ambition at the right time and a collective and unified determination to get something from the game that had the manager's fingerprints all over it. A game plan perfectly executed: deny City space, win the physical battle, don't hang around getting forward when you get the ball and guard possession when you have it. Gibbson got the goal but Baines and Heitiga and Hibbert and Stracqualursi were the architects of that victory. Darron Gibson helped former team Manchester United as his first goal for Everton was enough to beat Premier League leaders Manchester City.
Denis Stracqualursi's header was nodded off the line by Joleon Lescott as Samir Nasri hit the bar in the first half.
The hosts paraded new signing Nikica Jelavic at half-time and Gibson lifted the crowd further when he struck following Leighton Baines' cross.
City pressed but though Nasri hit the bar again, they could not capitalise.The man emerged from the crowd before half-time and attached himself to the frame of City keeper Joe Hart's goal.
After a hold-up which resulted in five minutes of first-half stoppage time, he was released and led away by police.
"He was arrested by Merseyside Police, who are now dealing with the matter," Everton said in statement.
"It transpired that the supporter is a known professional protester, allegedly protesting about an airline's recruitment policy.
