Pep Guardiola’s side needed two late goals to get the better of relegation-threatened Everton.
ERLING HAALAND SCORED his first goals since November as champions Manchester City finally wore down Everton to claim a hard-fought 2-0 Premier League win.
City’s superior quality warranted the result, and ultimately it was not a surprise, but it was nevertheless a bitter blow for relegation-threatened Everton after a dogged display. City controlled possession but found opportunities hard to come by. They had little space in which to attack as Everton kept men behind the ball and, with Kevin De Bruyne on the bench and Phil Foden wide, they lacked a creative spark.
Doku also remained a danger and he found Haaland in the box but the Norwegian’s ball across goal was turned behind.
