City beats Everton 3-1 in Premier League

MANCHESTER, England (AP) Manchester City ended Everton's unbeaten run in the Premier League this season with a 3-1 win on Saturday as Alvaro Negredo and Sergio Aguero scored superb goals in an entertaining game featuring plenty of chances.

City bounced back from two consecutive losses in all competitions to move two points behind league leader Arsenal, which has a game in hand.

Romelu Lukaku gave the visitors the lead but Negredo quickly canceled out the Belgian striker's opener after a flowing collective move before Aguero handed City the advantage just before halftime.

Aguero then added the third from the spot in the 69th minute after Tim Howard tipped his penalty onto the post but the ball bounced in off the American goalkeeper.
