Manchester City added another win to their Premier League tally on Saturday, beating Everton 3-1 at Goodison Park. Riyad Mahrez got the go-ahead goal in a tight affair.

Gabriel Jesus gave the defending champions the lead after 24 minutes, but the teams were tied at half-time, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin getting the equaliser. Mahrez converted a free-kick after the break, and Raheem Sterling secured the three points inside the final 10 minutes.

City remain the Premier League's second-ranked team, five behind leaders Liverpool.
