56' - Smart stop.
Jordan Pickford does well to readjust his positioning and tip the ball behind for a corner after Fernandinho's long-range effort had deflected off Dominic Calvert-Lewin and towards the other side of his goal.
GOAL! Everton 1-3 Manchester City (Bolasie, 63)
Yannick Bolasie pulls a goal back for the visitors as his 20-yard effort hits the inside of both posts before nestling in Ederson's net!
Lovely strike - and Bolasie's first since 2016. He did, of course, miss the majority of Everton's matches in 2017 with a serious knee injury.
66' - Cenk Tosun rises above Kyle Walker to meet Leighton Baines' corner but the striker's header flies wide of Ederson's near post.
Everton have the wind in their sails at the moment.
71' - Leroy Sane tries his luck from the edge of the area with his unfavoured right foot but the ball sails well over the crossbar.
75' - Close!
Fernandinho grazes the crossbar with a curling shot from distance.
Jordan Pickford was getting nowhere near that!
79' - Oumar Niasse replaces Cenk Tosun for Everton.
Can the hosts grab another goal and ensure a nervy finish to the match or will City see out the final 10 minutes without a hitch?
