Man City opens 10-point lead

Manchester City's relentless pursuit of a third Premier League title in four seasons continued after a 3-1 victory over Everton opened up a 10-point lead at the top of the table.

Phil Foden fired Pep Guardiola's leaders ahead with a right-foot shot which hit Everton’s Seamus Coleman on its way past Jordan Pickford.

Hard-working Everton were back on level terms five minutes later, Lucas Digne's powerful attempt coming back off the post and hitting Richarlison before flying over the line.

However, a wonderful curling finish from 18 yards by Riyad Mahrez restored City's lead before Bernardo Silva beat Pickford from a similar distance in the closing stages.

With 14 games remaining, City's lead is into double figures after a 12th successive league win.
