Romelu Lukaku scored a second-half header and got Everton a precious 2 -1 win against City in the first leg of the League Cup semi final.
Roberto Martinez would be happy to see Everton dominating proceedings at Goodison Park and restricting City to infrequent counter-attacks.
However they still have a long way to go if they are going to get their hands on their first ever League Cup.
“We knew the first leg was going to be an incredible challenge, but the character we showed was incredible.For that period, to be able to manage the game with 10 players was very pleasing. It was a very good game of football, but I think the 25 minutes we played going into half-time was very good.
But it means nothing. We had to win the first leg at home, but it will be a very tough second leg.”
