Story of the match: Class always takes a stand.
Manuel Pellegrini will be delighted with the performance of his team, meanwhile, Roberto Martinez will be bummed about his side’s special run coming to an end.
Everton’s unbeaten start to the Premier League comes to an end as Manchester City score 3 goals past them. Everton had no answer for the home team in the second half, as City were in blazing form. Two goals from Aguero and one from Negredo were more than enough to see off the Toffees, who dropped the momentum in the second half.
