Manchester City 5-0 Everton: One final Serg
Date published: Sunday 23rd May 2021 2:17 - Matthew Stead
Manchester City crowned their fine Premier League season with a resounding 5-0 victory over Everton.
Pep Guardiola has seen his side
stutter somewhat after winning the title, first scraping a 4-3 win at Newcastle then losing 2-1 to Brighton in midweek.
But the Champions League finalists returned to their previous imperious form by swatting Everton aside in a dominant performance.
Kevin de Bruyne and Gabriel Jesus scored within four first-half minutes before Ederson saved a Gylfi Sigurdsson penalty.
That extinguished any hopes of an Everton comeback, with Phil Foden making it 3-0 shortly after half-time.
Tottenham’s win means they will be in the inaugural edition of the Europa Conference League next term after a 3-0 triumph for West Ham against Southampton sealed their place in the Europa League.
Pablo Fornals struck twice in quick succession to put David Moyes’ team in control and Declan Rice made it safe with a third four minutes from time, much to the delight of the 10,000 supporters in attendance at the London Stadium.
Arsenal were set for a place in the Europa Conference League before a dramatic finale at Leicester as Nicolas Pepe continued his strong end to the campaign with a double in a 2-0 win at home to Brighton.
