Manchester City locked horns with Everton at Goodison Park earlier today as they hoped to secure a positive result on their travels in the Premier League. The Mancunian outfit made a good start to the game but conceded the opening goal in the 29th minute when Jack Harrison found the back of the net. Pep Guardiola‘s men failed to mount a comeback and went into the half-time break 1-0 down on the scoreline.
Phil Foden equalised for the Mancunian club in the 53rd minute before Julian Alvarez completed the turnaround from the penalty spot just 11 minutes later. Bernardo Silva killed the game off in the 86th minute as Man City ran away with an impressive 3-1 win from Merseyside.
