Manchester City went top of the Premier League table on Sunday thanks to a 2-0 win at Everton, where Aleksandar Kolarov and Samir Nasri scored to prolong the Citizens' winning start to the season.
Raheem Sterling set Kolarov up for the game's opener after 60 minutes before the battling Toffees were dealt a killer blow by Nasri in the 88th minute to rule out any chance of clinching a draw.
Roberto Martinez's men were defiant in the face of their oppressors and responded well to the opening strike with their own share of attempts on Joe Hart's goal, but a lack of finishing flair proved fatal in the end.
