Everton's relegation fears very much remain after sinking to a 3-0 defeat against champions-elect Manchester City on Sunday afternoon at Goodison Park.
Sean Dyche's side, roared on by a ferocious-sounding home crowd, started brightly as Dominic Calvert-Lewin looked to masterplan their counter-attacking style shortly before Mason Holgate was presented with the best chance of the first half.
The defender's miss, a close-range rebound from a corner that he skied desperately over the crossbar, was left to be rued when Ilkay Gundogan displayed a piece of brilliance to control Riyad Mahrez's cross on his thigh before hooking the ball past Jordan Pickford. Just moments later, Erling Haaland escaped the vicinity of Yerry Mina to double the visitors' lead.
