Man-City-crush-Everton-3-0-to-edge-closer-to-Premier-League-title

Manchester City continues title charge with 11th straight league win, as Everton slips closer to relegation.

Manchester City took another step towards their third successive Premier League title with a resounding 3-0 victory against a relegation-battling Everton. Despite the high stakes for both teams, the match started tentatively with City lacking their usual flair, and Everton missed an opportunity to take the lead when Mason Holgate's effort went over the bar. However, City punished Everton's profligacy when İlkay Gündoğan scored from Riyad Mahrez's delivery, before record-breaking forward Erling Haaland doubled their lead with a powerful header.

Gündoğan continued to be a menace in the second half, scoring a stunning free-kick to put the game beyond Everton's reach. The Toffees had limited attacking opportunities, with James Tarkowski's header hitting the crossbar as their best chance of the game. Gündoğan missed out on a chance to score a hat-trick after VAR failed to intervene when Jordan Pickford missed the ball and landed on Haaland's head, but the decision did not matter as City secured another victory. With two games remaining, Everton are only one point clear of the relegation zone, while City are on track to secure another Premier League title.
