To say Everton took Manchester City apart in the lunchtime kick off on Sunday would be an understatement.
The game finished 4-0, with Goodison Park looking more like it had been hosting a team in a relegation battle than Premier League elite managed by Pep Guardiola.
.@Everton brilliant and deserved the points today. @ManCity hopeless. #EVEMCI

4-0 – This is Pep Guardiola’s heaviest ever defeat in league competition as a manager. Humbled.

It was a great day for Everton’s youngsters too, as 18-year-old Liverpool local Tom Davies bagged his first goal for the club with a sumptuously worked goal.

Davies.
Only takes 30 seconds to see if someone can play.
He can play. I'm excited.

Fellow youngster Ademola Lookman, the 19-year-old Everton signed from Charlton earlier this month for £11 million, scored on his debut too – nutmegging City’s goalkeeper after he came on as a substitute.

So happy for Tom Davies and Lookman, this is what footballs all about, not money, it's about the game, and dreams coming true. #EVEMCI

Overall the Toffees were clinical in attack, scoring from every shot on target they had.
Four shots on target.
Four goals.
Three points for @Everton. #EVEMCI pic.twitter.com/UayFHzEyeA— Premier League (@premierleague) January 15, 2017
Which of course meant City goalkeeper Claudio Bravo didn’t make a save in the match. The 33-year-old Chilean has come under a serious amount of stick since he replaced Joe Hart as City’s number one. It’s not hard to give him a hard time either when you look at the stats – which just got worse and worse for him during the game.
12 – Claudio Bravo has conceded from 12 of the last 20 shots on target he has faced in the Premier League. Porous.

13 – Claudio Bravo has conceded from 13 of the last 21 shots on target he has faced in the Premier League. Update.

Of course, another leaky display from Bravo meant all the same jokes were coming out.
Bravo couldn't save a Word document if he tried.

I don't think Claudio Bravo has contacts on his phone. He doesn't SAVE anything

Starting to think Claudio Bravo is a hologram.

And some tongue in cheek comparisons were being made…
Who is the better goalkeeper? Retweet for Harry Kane, like for Claudio Bravo #EVEMCI #bbcfootball pic.twitter.com/futSzlitMV

All in all, if you’re a City fan – it’s been a tough day.
