Man City under Pep Guardiola bagged three points on the road, climbing to fourth place, a Champions League spot, and leaving the sanctioned Everton teetering on the edge, endangering their stay in the top tier.

In the first half, City faced trouble against Everton, who, with their few chances at Goodison Park, managed to head into halftime with an edge over the current champions, watching their league and European spots slip away.

Guardiola's pep talk at halftime worked wonders, shifting the game in Manchester's favor in the second half. Even without Haaland, they found answers in their stacked lineup, starting with Phil Foden, who leveled the score within 10 minutes of the second half.

It served as fuel for the visitors and fear for the home team. Quickly, the triple threat offense turned the game around in the 64th minute with a goal from the Argentine Julián Álvarez, sealing it with a 3-1 victory, courtesy of Bernardo Silva.

That's how City snatched the away win, staging a comeback to solidify their European standings and aim to close the gap with the leaders, hoping to retain their title. Meanwhile, Everton, docked with a -10 point penalty, now seeks salvation.
