Manchester City came from behind to beat Everton 3-1 on their return from the Club World Cup and move five points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool.

Pep Guardiola's men, chasing an unprecedented fourth consecutive English top-flight title, were in deep trouble when trailing 1-0 at Goodison Park, courtesy of a first-half strike from former City player Jack Harrison.

But Phil Foden fizzed a shot past Jordan Pickford in the 53rd minute and Julian Alvarez put the visitors ahead from the penalty spot.

Bernardo Silva capped a brilliant second-half performance for the champions, taking advantage of an error from Pickford in the closing minutes to lift the ball over the Everton goalkeeper.

City, who had won just one of their previous six league games, have a game in hand over Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool, who are two points clear of second-placed Arsenal, in action against West Ham on Thursday.

Elsewhere, Chelsea's Noni Madueke scored a late winner from the penalty spot in a 2-1 win against Crystal Palace to lift spirits at Stamford Bridge.

Mauricio Pochettino's side, bogged down in mid-table, took an early lead through Mykhailo Mudryk but Michael Olise pegged the hosts back.

Madueke won and converted an 89th-minute penalty to claim victory for stuttering Chelsea after three losses in their previous four top-flight matches.

South Korea forward Hwang Hee-chan scored twice as Wolverhampton took full advantage of Brentford's defensive mistakes to secure a 4-1 win in the Premier League.

It was a first victory in London in 15 attempts for Wolves, the last coming in a 2-0 win at Tottenham in February last year.

But it was gifted to the visitors by a depleted Brentford side which could soon be looking nervously over its shoulder at the relegation battle after a fourth straight defeat and a sixth in seven matches. (AFP, AP)
