Manchester City beat Everton for the fifth time in a row, running out 2-1 winners at the Etihad thanks to a Gabriel Jesus brace.
After choosing to rotate his squad, Pep's Guardiola's side had to first endure some early frustration, with Phil Foden seeing his early goal overturned by VAR for an offside violation. The home crowd were finally appeased in the second half, as Jesus struck twice to cap off two fine City moves within quick succession.The goals sealed a relatively straight forward victory, despite Everton rallying late on after Richarlison pounced on a Claudio Bravo error.
