Raheem Sterling scored his first Premier League goal since August as champions Manchester City eased to a 3-0 victory over lacklustre Everton on Sunday.
Rodri added a stunning second and Bernardo Silva a late third as Pep Guardiola\u2019s side responded to convincing victories by title rivals Chelsea and Liverpool on Saturday with a dominant display of their own.
City were without playmaker Kevin De Bruyne following his positive test for coronavirus this week but in his absence the Etihad Stadium was treated to a glimpse of the future with a fine display from teenager Cole Palmer.<\/p>\n
The highly-rated Palmer looked at ease in a fluid and dominant City side, for whom Sterling also shone.
The England forward has endured a frustrating start to the season and his future has been the subject of frequent speculation.
The disappointment for him on this occasion that he did not add to his tally, squandering a late chance as City cruised towards the final whistle.<\/p>\n
There was some acknowledgement of the main footballing news of the day from across the city, with fans singing \u201cOle\u2019s on the dole\u201d in reference to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer\u2019s sacking at Manchester United.
There was a far louder chant, however, in tribute to Sergio Aguero, the club\u2019s record goalscorer, following reports the now Barcelona striker is poised to announce his retirement following a heart scare.
There was little on the field to excite the crowd initially as the game got off to a slow start, not helped by numerous stoppages.<\/p>\n
