Manchester City scored a decisive 2-0 victory against Everton twice in the final phase on Saturday afternoon.
While this was the third from the last Premier League game that was held in Goodison Park, it is not to deny that City had much more to do with the result of the competition in view of the hope of participating in the Champions League next season.
In a subdued opening of 45 minutes, however, it was clear that only one or two moments would decide on the fight. After James Tarkowski left a corner against the post, Jake O’Brien Kevin de Bruyne prevented City from giving an important lead with an excellent clearing head ball from an exertion that was intended for Jordan Pickford’s destination.
The game continued to drift over the hour, and the city only seemed to see that this was a game that they should win when they reach its last act. The visitors were late, and Pickford saved Savinho and Omar Marmoush, but he could do little to tap Nico O’reilly home six minutes before the time.
The visitors did not allow Everton to go back to the competition and finally played with their vintage overve, and Mateo Kovacic sealed all three points with a decent finish from the edge of the box in the after -time period.
City sees the victory fourth in front of the rest of the campaign of the weekend.
