On Saturday at 14:30, the first matches of the 17th round of the English Premier League were played.
In the previous round, "Manchester City" who suffered their first defeat and lost the leader position returned to the path of victories. Pep Guardiola's players won against Liverpool's "Everton" team with a score of 3:1.
The hosts gained an advantage in the 22nd minute when Gabriel Jesus, who replaced the injured Sergio Aguero in the starting lineup, scored a goal after an unsuccessful attempt by the "Everton" team to clear the ball.
In the second half, G. Jesus scored another goal and increased the lead to two goals, but in the 65th minute, the "Toffees" managed to reduce the gap.
However, the intrigue did not last long - just four minutes later, Raheem Sterling put the final point in these matches, scoring in the penalty area just moments after coming on the field.
By winning, "Man City" gained a two-point advantage over "Liverpool" at least until tomorrow. "Everton" remains in seventh position.
