MAN CITY PLAYER RATINGS: Erling Haaland's deadly finishes and sub Kevin De Bruyne made the difference in Everton win... but Mateus Nunes proved a disappointment

Manchester City returned top of the Premier League table as Erling Haaland struck twice to sink Everton.

Pep Guardiola's side needed to be patient and it took them 71 minutes to break the deadlock as Everton defended resolutely.

But Haaland's double, taking his tally for the season to 16 league goals, sent City above Liverpool for a few hours at least.

Here are the City ratings from the game at the Etihad courtesy of Adam Shergold.
