Just back from winning its first Club World Cup title in Saudi Arabia, City went behind Jack Harrison’s first-half goal but recovered after the break thanks to a well-taken strike by Phil Foden and a penalty by Julian Alvarez.
Manchester City had to come from before to beat Everton 3- 1 on Wednesday and climb back into the Premier League’s top four.
Just back from winning its first Club World Cup title in Saudi Arabia, City went before to Jack Harrison’s first- partial thing but recovered after the break thanks to a well-taken strike by Phil Foden and a penalty by Julian Alvarez.
Bernardo Silva added the third when he attacked on a poor concurrence by Jordan Pickford to coil home into an empty net in the 86th.
It was only City’s alternate palm in seven league matches but lifted the defending titleholders above Tottenham into fourth place, five points behind leader Liverpool with a game in hand. Alternate-place Arsenal can move six points clear of City by beating West Ham on Thursday.
City was without Erling Haaland again because of a bottom injury and Pep Guardiola’s side had a sluggish launch as Everton took the lead in the 29th nanosecond. City midfielder Rodri was dragooned into a symptomatic loss of possession on the edge of his area, and Dwight McNeil teed up Harrison to sidefoot home from close range. The former City winger nearly scored a spectacular alternate with Ederson at full stretch to tip over his swerving outdoors- of- the left wing-bottom trouble.
Megacity protector John Monuments had to come off with an injury in the 43rd, but the callers demanded just 19 twinkles after the break to turn effects around. Foden was given too important space on the edge of the area from a corner to beat Pickford with a low shot inside his left-hand post in the 53rd, and Alvarez put his platoon ahead from the spot after Nathan Ake’s shot hit Amadou Onana’s arm as he slid into a block.
Referee John Brooks awarded a corner before changing his mind and pointing to the spot, with Alvarez’s blast down the middle proving too important as it went underneath the diving Pickford’s legs.
Silva’s 20-yard trouble into an unguarded net secured the palm after he collected Alvarez’s block on the goalkeeper. Know More latest Football News…
