Gameday: Maple Leafs host the Ottawa Senators

Manchester City survived a testing encounter at Goodison Park as they came from behind to beat Everton 3-1 and climb back into the top four. The newly-crowned Club World Cup winners recovered from going behind to former winger Jack Harrisons first-half goal to David Montgomery Jersey score twice after the break through a beauty from Phil Foden and a Julian Alvarez penalty. Late on, Bernardo Silva curled home into an empty net after the otherwise excellent Jordan Pickford had his kick charged down to leave Everton a point above the relegation zone. Three goals Three points The champions return to the Premier League in style | Premier League (@premierleague) It was only Citys second win in seven league matches, but was enough to bring second-placed Arsenal within their sights and Liverpool not much further away. However, the lo s of John Stones, making only his fifth Premier League start this season due to injury, and an eighth succe sive Premier League game without a clean sheet were le s welcome. With Liverpool and Arsenal drawing just before Christmas, City returned victorious from Saudi Arabia knowing winning their two games in hand would leave them just a couple of points behind Jurgen Klopps side at the summit. Had it not been for some wayward shooting and, more significantly, Jordan Pickford, they would probably have been coasting towards the first of those wins before half-time. The England number ones most important intervention came in the 14th minute when he saved Matheus Nunes shot and then stuck out a foot to narrowly divert wide Alvarezs rebound. He also later denied Jack Grealish. And without Erling Haaland for a sixth succe sive game the Norway internationals foot injury is also expected to keep him out of the weekends visit of Sheffield United Pep Guardiolas side started to look a bit toothle s. That has been a longer-term problem for Everton but scoring from your first shot on Jesse James Jersey target always helps and when Rodri was pre sured into an uncharacteristic lo s of po se sion on the edge of his own area by Beto the home side pounced. Dwight McNeil laid on his third a sist in five games as Harrison sidefooted home from close range, with the former City winger almost scoring a spectacular second with Ederson at full stretch to tip over his swerving outside-of-the-left-foot effort. City were more than happy to leave Beto, making his first start in six games but with two goals in his last five appearances, one-on-one at the back and that almost backfired when Pickford picked him out only for the strikers clumsine s allowing Stones to recover and clear, injuring himself in the proce s. Guardiola was furious with the a sistant referee for not flagging for offside and his mood was not helped by the defenders enforced departure just before half-time. City needed just 19 minutes after the break to turn things around with Foden given too much space on the edge of the area from a corner to beat Pickford down by his left-hand post. BERNARDOOOOOOOO!!! 1-3 Manchester City (@ManCity) Silva extended the goalkeeper with a free-kick before Alvarez put them ahead when Nathan Akes shot hit Amadou Onanas arm as he slid in to block. Referee John Brooks awarded a corner before changing his mind and pointing to the spot, with Alvarezs blast down the middle proving too powerful as it went underneath the diving Pickfords legs. When substitute Dominic Calvert-Lewin failed to turn home Harrisons low cro s from six yards, defeat was confirmed with Silvas 20-yard effort into an unguarded net after collecting Alvarezs block on the goalkeeper.
