The loss was City's fifth of the Premier League campaign and left them 10 points behind leaders Chelsea.

It also proved an unhappy first return to Everton for City defender John Stones, who was booed intermittently following his £50 million transfer last summer.

Everton were more direct, hitting City with forceful counter-attacks, often looking for Lukaku up the middle.

Everton took the lead though Lukaku. Th hosts doubled after Mirallas finished firmly with a low strike.

Everton wrapped up the win with Davies' second goal in the second half .

There was still time for more as Lookman, sent on in the last minute, finished calmly after being played in in stoppage time.
