Carlo Ancelotti believes Everton were beaten by this season's champions after Pep Guardiola's Manchester City put on masterclass display at Goodison Park to open 10-point gap at the top of the Premier League table

Carlo Ancelotti has heaped praise on Manchester City after their masterclass display against his Everton side at Goodison Park – and the Italian believes they are the only candidates to win the Premier League this season.

Strikes from Phil Foden, Riyad Mahrez and Bernardo Silva secured a 3-1 win with City running the Toffees' defensive line ragged throughout in the comprehensive victory.

Pep Guardiola's men have now become the first team to win their opening 10 games in a calendar year, with the win on Merseyside being their 17th on the trot in all competitions.
