The times when Everton used to pull off some serious upsets in the Premier League are long gone. Rafa Benitez’s side is anything but dangerous for those title-chasing teams, including Manchester City. Pep Guardiola’s slot didn’t have to sweat too much at Etihad, clinching a landslide 3-0 home win against harmless Everton.The final score doesn’t tell the story of this altogether one-sided match, in which the Citizens replayed their earlier pattern when facing rivals above their weight. After snapping two goals before the 60th minute, Guardiola’s guys hit the brakes and smoothly ended the game without unnecessary tension.##EDITORS_CHOICE##They were quick coming off the starting block, with Bernardo Silva missing an opportunity to break the deadlock only a few minutes into the game. Gundogan was there with a header, hitting the crossbar soon after, and despite 0-0 on a scoreboard, it was evident how the fixture would finish.Seconds before the halftime whistle, a versatile Portuguese midfielder Joao Cancelo provided Raheem Sterling with a jaw-dropping assist, hitting the ball with the outside of his right foot. Sterling’s first touch that followed was superb, too, and the Citizens were one up.JOÃO CANCELO WITH THE TRIVELA ASSIST 😱😱 pic.twitter.com/0AAmlm3GQG— Benfica Youth (@SLBenficaYouth) November 21, 2021 The Toffees were never near Ederson’s goal, which didn’t change, not even in the second half. On the other end, Rodri banged in a spectacular long-range effort to kill the game just 10 minutes after the break.What a goal from rodri #ManUtd pic.twitter.com/Q1KLf6mpdI— Ola 🇬🇧 🇳🇬 On SUSPENSION 😕😢 (@Yungfuhrerback) November 21, 2021 Finally, another Portuguese Bernardo Silva was there to put the cherry on top, with the City’s third goal near the stoppage time.PREMIER LEAGUE – Round 12SaturdayLeicester – Chelsea 0-3 (0-2)/Rudiger 14.
