Manchester
City manager Manuel Pellegrini hailed his side’s character as they
recovered from a drubbing against Bayern Munich to defeat Everton.
The Toffees went into the clash as the
only unbeaten side in the Premier League but left the Etihad Stadium on
the wrong end of a 3-1 scoreline.
It was the same score by which City lost
to Munich in the Champions League on Wednesday in a match where they
were completely outplayed.
Coming on the back of a league defeat by Aston Villa, it made victory in Saturday’s clash very important for Pellegrini’s side.
The Chilean said, “I was very pleased
for a lot of things. We played the only unbeaten team in the Premier
League and a team that plays very well with the ball so it was not an
easy game.
“What happened last Wednesday always has
a consequence physically and mentally on the team so that’s why I am
very pleased with the character the team showed.”
It was a good performance from City, who
went behind to Romelu Lukaku’s goal but created a lot of good chances
and scored three times through Alvaro Negredo, Sergio Aguero and a Tim
Howard own goal.
