Pellegrini purring as Manchester City’s gallop gathering momentum

Everton 0 Manchester City 2: Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini claimed it’s too early to compare this team with his 2014 Premier League-winning vintage.

But what is already clear after three successive wins without conceding a goal to start the season is that City already look the side to beat in the title race.

After demolishing Chelsea a week earlier, City ended Everton’s unbeaten start with a clinical performance which gave them a ninth successive league win since they lost 4-2 to Manchester United in April.
