LIVERPOOL - Riyad Mahrez and Raheem Sterling calmed Manchester City's nerves on Saturday as the Premier League champions overcame a searching test to beat feisty Everton 3-1 and keep leaders Liverpool in their sights.

Both sides had chances after the break in an entertaining contest but Mahrez's free-kick and Sterling's late strike put the game beyond the home side and allowed City to close to within five points of Liverpool. City, playing in a garish yellow-and-pink kit, should have been ahead early after Mahrez fizzed a ball across the face of the goal only for Ilkay Gundogan to hit the bar with the goal gaping.

City had chances to restore their lead before half-time but Jesus blazed over and Gundogan fired straight at Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford.
