- 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.

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
