MANCHESTER CITY were able to ease to victory against Everton on an autumnal Sunday afternoon in Eastlands thanks to two standout moments either side of half time.

Raheem Sterling started from the right wing but found himself in an ideal position through the middle to open the scoring a minute before the break, before Rodri doubled the lead 10 minutes after the interval.

Bernardo Silva's goal with five minutes remaining, scored after a shot from impressive 19-year-old Cole Palmer deflected into his path, gave the hosts a three-goal margin which reflected their dominance.
