Goals from Nico O’Reilly and Mateo Kovacic ensured three points for the Blues on our final visit to Everton’s grand old ground.
And Guardiola spoke of his enjoyment at coming to the 133-year-old venue as the Toffees get set to relocate to Everton Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock next season.
The Blues boss lost his first encounter here 4-0 in his first season, 2016/17, before clocking up eight top-flight wins on the spin, including this afternoon’s vital victory.
MATCH REPORT: EVERTON 0-2 CITY
“My friend Ronald Koeman destroyed me the first time I come here 4-0. I remember it perfectly,” he told the media post-match.
“It was at the beginning of an incredible adventure that I have been here.
“Always I love to come here or Fulham, these typical stadiums for the Premier League. I remember Stoke City with this kind of vibe. These stadiums with small locker rooms.
“The clubs grow and the new stadium will be magnificent for revenue, for fans and for you who work.
“It has been an honour to come here for many, many years to Goodison Park.
“I remember when I was a little boy. Today I watched the screen with goals from Gary Lineker and said wow, this is English football.”
