- The Citizens will now await the result between Liverpool and Manchester United to know if they will remain at the top of the log for another week

Manchester City bounced back to winning ways in the Premier League after beating Everton 3-1 at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday.

Brazil international Gabriel Jesus shot the Citizens ahead in the 22 minutes of play after connecting with Leroy Sane's superb pass.

The hosts were unable to double their lead for the rest of the first half of the meeting despite creating series of chances earlier on.

However, just five minutes into the second stanza, Jesus doubled City's lead and also completed his brace for the game.

He rose high up to meet Leroy Sane's cross in the 50th minute as he sends Jordan Pickford the wrong way with his header.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin reduced the visitor's deficit in the 65th minute after his header was deflected by Fabian Delph into the net.

Pep Guardiola made some tactical substitution with Raheem Sterling coming on for Leroy Sane and just three minutes into play, he grabbed his first of the game to hand City 3-1 lead.

Kevin De Bruyne also replaced Riyad Mahrez as he returns to the team after a long injury spell on the sidelines.

Meanwhile, Gabriel Jesus' goals against the Toffees ended the Brazilian 11-match goal drought as he last scored a goal for the club in August.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari.
