It was a night when one man brought handcuffs and Manchester City played as though in a straightjacket.

Never before has a Premier League match been interrupted by a middle-aged man protesting about Ryanair's recruitment policies on the basis that his daughter did not get a job with the airline. It was a surreal subplot to a match in which City rarely looked like a team at the top of the league, losing to Darron Gibson's first goal for Everton since signing from Manchester United.
