Man City battle back to beat Everton on return to Premier League

Pep Guardiola's men, chasing an unprecedented fourth consecutive English top-flight title, were in deep trouble when trailing 1-0 at Goodison Park, courtesy of a first-half strike from former City player Jack Harrison. But Phil Foden fizzed a shot past Jordan Pickford in the 53rd minute and Julian Alvarez put the visitors ahead from the penalty spot.

Bernardo Silva capped a brilliant second-half performance for the champions, taking advantage of an error from Pickford in the closing minutes to lift the ball over the Everton goalkeeper. City, who had won just one of their previous six league games, have a game in hand over Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool, who are two points clear of second-placed Arsenal, in action against West Ham. Elsewhere, Chelsea's Noni Madueke scored a late winner from the penalty spot in a 2-1 win against Crystal Palace to lift spirits at Stamford Bridge while Wolves hammered Brentford 4-1.
