Here's how the national media, along with our own Joe Thomas, reacted to the defeat to City. Second-from-bottom Leicester City, meanwhile, have a game in-hand on Everton and know if they were to beat Liverpool at the King Power this evening then they would move up to 17th, with two matches to play. The loss keeps the Blues in 17th position in the Premier League, just one point ahead of Leeds United, who occupy the third and final relegation place. Just moments after the restart, Gundogan fired in City's third, this time past a Calvert-Lewin-less Everton, with a sublime free kick after Phil Foden had been bundled to the ground by James Garner.

Just moments later, Erling Haaland escaped the vicinity of Yerry Mina to double the visitors' lead. The defender's miss, a close-range rebound from a corner that he skied desperately over the crossbar, was left to be rued when Ilkay Gundogan displayed a piece of brilliance to control Riyad Mahrez's cross on his thigh before hooking the ball past Jordan Pickford. Sean Dyche's side, roared on by a ferocious-sounding home crowd, started brightly as Dominic Calvert-Lewin looked to masterplan their counter-attacking style shortly before Mason Holgate was presented with the best chance of the first half. Everton's relegation fears very much remain after sinking to a 3-0 defeat against champions-elect Manchester City on Sunday afternoon at Goodison Park.
