Five talking points from Man City's comfortable victory over Everton

Everton flatter to deceive

After a brilliant start to the season which saw them in the top four after six games, Everton came into this fixture with history on their side and on a brilliant run of form as well. But the game against City proved that Everton are from the finished article and there is still plenty of work for them to do, before they can get into the top four, or even Europe for that matter.

Everton started the game brightly and took the lead through Lukaku, and were in the game right until Aguero scored just on the stroke of half time to give City the lead. When Everton came out in the second half, they looked like a different side altogether. Their heads dropped and Seamus Coleman was the sole shining light in another otherwise dismal second half performance, in which they never really looked like scoring. Their passing, on which, they had built their game on, this season, was off the mark.
