Man City’s viral ‘bottle fan’ brutally mocked by Everton minutes after 3-3 draw

Everton secured a shock draw over the title challengers on Monday night

Pep Guardiola's side were dealt a major blow to their hopes of beating Arsenal to the 2025/26 Premier League title, after a chaotic second half that saw the club barely escape Hill Dickinson with a point.

Even more shockingly, by half-time, the Citizens had actually looked set to close the gap to league leaders Arsenal down to three points — with an extra game still to play — thanks to an excellent Jeremy Doku opener.

This all changed after a critical lapse in concentration from Marc Guehi in the 67th minute.

The England defender massively underhit an everyday backpass to Gianluigi Donnarumma, allowing Barry to steal the ball, and easily overcome the Man City keeper.

This kickstarted a 13-minute period — in which City conceded a further two goals — that has completely shaken up the 2025/26 title race.

An excellent header from Jake O'Brien followed just five minutes later, before Barry chipped in with his second, and the Blues' third, in the 81st minute, to plunge Man City into deep trouble.

City may have rallied via an Erling Haaland strike, and an incredible long-range equaliser from Jereemy Doku in the 97th minute, to wrap up a thrilling 3-3 draw, but even a point is not sufficient to keep pace with leaders Arsenal.

The Gunners are now five points ahead, and fresh from a faultless 3-0 win over Fulham, now also lead the goal difference table by a margin of four.

Wasting no time to bask in glory at the positive result, Everton took to social media to mock one of Manchester City's best known supporters.

Taking to TikTok, the Blues posted a clip of supporter Tal Rehman who appeared absolutely distraught at the result.

The video also zooms in from some distance to focus on Rehman's reaction, and he can be seen with his head in his hands.

Who is the viral 'bottle fan'?

The City fan is best known to supporters for a stunt he pulled during a Premier League game between Chelsea and the Citizens.

Taking place just 24 hours after Arsenal had lost to Bournemouth at the Emirates, City wrapped up an emphatic 3-0 victory over Chelsea, that piled immense pressure on Mikel Arteta's side.

After the third goal had been confirmed, Rehman could be seen reaching for an Arsenal-branded bottle, and drinking from it with such vigour that he was picked up by Sky Sports cameras.

The moment immediately went viral, due to its ability to add an image to accusations from across sports media that Arsenal were "bottling" or throwing away the Premier League title.

Monday's result may now have turned the tables on that situation, with City — considered by many as favourites — now dropping points in a game they were expected to win.
