Brilliant City too good for Everton
The in-form Phil Foden fired City ahead with a right-footed shot which hit Everton substitute Seamus Coleman on its way past Jordan Pickford.
Everton were back on level terms five minutes later.
However, a wonderful curling finish from 18 yards by Riyad Mahrez helped City restore their lead.
Bernardo Silva then beat Pickford from a similar distance in the closing stages.
