Pep Guardiola issued a clear warning to Manchester City's Premier League title rivals following their 3-1 win against Everton at Goodison Park.

Fresh from winning the Club World Cup final against Fluminense on Friday night, City came from behind to return to winning ways in the Premier League at Goodison on Wednesday night.

Jack Harrison fired Everton into the lead after 29 minutes. City emerged for the second-half up for the fight, and a sensational strike from Phil Foden drew Pep Guardiola's men level.

Soon after, Julian Alvarez scored a controversial penalty before Bernardo Silva completed the scoring four minutes from time. The victory at Goodison moved City into the top four and five points behind leaders Liverpool in the table. And speaking after the game, Guardiola warned the Reds and his side's other title rivals that they are coming for them.

He said: "I remind them [of their abilities] every day. We have standards to keep. That makes us have more responsibility so the standards cannot go down.

"I thought the first half was really good. In the second half we had to attack quicker with wingers and runners and we did really well.

"They showed again how special they are. We know after six games with just one win, the people were asking, which is normal because it is all about results but we are close and so do Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool and Aston Villa. We want to be there.

"Our away supporters are always very good. They are sometimes more than at the Etihad I would say! It's nice they travel here to be with us and it's nice to be with them.

"We said we needed to move to structure to play more direct to the wingers. We created 5-10 minutes of chances. Phil Foden in the end just took the ball and put it in the net! We arrived more often in the final third in the second half."
