It is now 12 victories and two draws since the January 2017 loss on Merseyside.
Goals from Phil Foden, Julian Alvarez and Bernardo Silva in the latest encounter sealed the three points at Goodison Park after Jack Harrison had put the hosts ahead.
Everton 1-3 City | Match report
The second-half comeback was our seventh turnaround in the last 12 times we have been trailing a Premier League game at half-time.
Harrison’s finish meant this game was the seventh time we have gone behind in the Premier League this season - matching that total for the entirety of the last campaign.
However, the excellent response made it seven victories in our last 12 matches in which we have been behind at the break.
We have won three and lost two in that time - demonstrating just how much Pep Guardiola‘s side fight until the end of every game.
The result also ended an excellent Everton run, finishing an unbeaten sequence of 17 games for the Toffees when scoring first.
Here we’ll take a look at some of the other statistics from Wednesday night’s match...
Alvarez’s important goals
With Kevin De Bruyne out and now Erling Haaland unavailable, Alvarez has been pivotal to City this season in two different positions.
Six of his last seven Premier League goals have put us one goal in the lead. The other drew us level against Wolves in September.
Wednesday night lights
City have won 26 of our last 28 Premier League games on a Wednesday, with four of those wins coming against Everton.
We have drawn one and lost one in that time.
Guardiola v Dyche
Across spells with Burnley and Everton, Sean Dyche has failed to win any of his 14 Premier League games against Pep Guardiola.
The Catalan has won 13 of their meetings, with just one draw.
Only Steve Bruce has faced a specific opposing manager more often in the competition’s history without ever tasting victory.
He drew four and lost 13 of his 17 matches against Sir Alex Ferguson.
Foden loves Goodison
Phil Foden has only scored more Premier League goals against Brighton (six) than he has against Everton, with three of his four strikes against the Toffees coming at Goodison.
Foden‘s powerful hit last night followed goals in the 1-0 win in 2021/22 and the 3-1 victory in 2020/21.
Premier League stats so far this season
Despite missing the last four games through injury, Erling Haaland remains the Premier League’s leading scorer with 14 strikes.
Mo Salah and Dominic Solanke are his closest challengers with 12 each.
Julian Alvarez‘s six assists leaves him just one behind that metric’s leaders - with Pedro Neto, Kieran Trippier and Salah all on seven.
Rodrigo‘s 1,496 passes is the second most in the division behind Brighton’s Lewis Dunk, who has played 1,614.
Ruben Dias is seventh with 1,332 and Kyle Walker is ninth with 1,257.
