Ademola Scores as Everton Mauls Manchester City 4-0
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has said that the club is out of the Premier League title race after a 4-0 loss to Everton at Goodison Park.
Asked if the gap was too great, he said:
"Yes. Ten is a lot of points."
He added: "At the end of the season, we our going to evaluate our level and how our performance was, how the coach was, how the players were. After that we are going to decide."
The former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss insisted he was "so happy in Manchester" despite his side sitting fifth, two points behind fourth-placed Arsenal.
Guardiola added:
"I said to the players be positive because you made some fantastic things during the season and for many reasons we didn't get what I think we deserved.
"In the bad moments we have to be close. It's awful for my players. We created chances but don't score and when they have a chance, they punish us."
Everton scored with their first two shots through Romelu Lukaku and Kevin Mirallas, with Tom Davies and Ademola Lookman completing the rout.
Lookman's goal came after a John Stones clearance was charged down and he put the ball through the legs of throwing the young defender again under the spotlight.
