Season › 2013-14 › News Blues run ends with defeat at City , 5 October, 0comments | Jump to most recent Manchester City 3 - 1 Everton Everton's unbeaten run in the Premier League came to a disappointing end as Manchester City, with help from the referee, made their superiority in the final third tell. Romelu Lukaku had put the Blues ahead with a well-taken goal after 15 minutes, his third in successive games for the Blues, latching into Phil Jagielka's ball forward and gliding past Joleon Lescott before finding the net despite Joe Hart getting a hand on it. City hit back immediately, though, when Yaya Toure carved open the defence and served up Alvaro Negredo who got behind Seamus Coleman and beat Tim Howard from close range. Sergio Aguero then atoned for earlier profligacy by drilling home on the stroke of half time after referee Jon Moss had ignored penalty calls for a blatant shove on Lukaku at the other end. Everton looked poor after the break and increasingly frustrated with the referee after a very poor penalty call allowed City to go further ahead, Howard tipping Aguero's spot-kick onto the post but the ball bounced in off the American's head. Martinez had made two positive changes prior to the home side's third goal, with Darron Gibson and Gerard Deulofeu coming for Leon Osman and Kevin Mirallas, but Everton were unable to make much work going forward in the closing quarter of the match. » Read more Match Summary and Discussion Match Report Ken Buckley: From My Seat About these ads © ToffeeWeb
