Everton's third-choice goalkeeper Joao Virginia made a brilliant fingertip save to stop Raheem Sterling side foot shot early on in the second half, but Man City opened the scoring with six minutes left as Gundogan was on hand to head into an empty net after virginia had tipped Aymeric Laporte's strike onto the crossbar.

"The fact we competed, the fact we defended really well and didn't concede great opportunities to them for 80 minutes, I'm proud of my players.

"Manchester City is not a normal team, they are the best."

Man City manager Pep Guardiola said: "When you have won a lot of games in four months, you are able to adapt and adjust and that is what I am pleased about the most, it is the most difficult thing.

"It is the mental strength to be ready for every single game. November to March is the toughest period in England and what we have done is more than remarkable, it is incredible.

"It is one of the greatest achievements we have done together for a long time."
