Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola's 2017 is set to get worse before it gets better after his troops were handed a footballing lesson in a 4-0 loss to Everton at Goodison Park.
The hosts showed every bit of the composure and the football skill that Manchester City are typically known for with Romelu Lukaku opening Everton's account in the first half before three in the second, one to Kevin Mirallas, Tom Davies and debutant Ademola Lookman looked to extinguish any title hopes the visitors harboured before the match.
City lacked purpose and edge as they conceded easy ball and failed to pick up players around their box.
The defeat marks the heaviest ever league defeat as a manager for Guardiola - whose team now sits in fifth position and 10 points off league leaders Chelsea.
Meanwhile, Everton remain in seventh position and still seven points behind Manchester United who earned a tough draw against Liverpool.
