MANCHESTER - Manchester City is now 1st in England Premier League with United thanks to Mario Balotelli who entered at the 61th minute and needed just 7 minutes to break a difficult match stuck on 0-0.
Mario and James Milner fired the goals that gave Roberto Mancini his first win over David Moyes.
The Everton boss, despite having never lost to megabucks City under the Italian, claimed before the match it was like turning up to a gun fight with a knife.
And City's strength of resources duly told, with two players worth a combined £46million coming off the bench to shoot down the Toffees in the second half.
City manager Mancini said: "Everton is a good team. It was really difficult. It was hard to win this game.
"We had a lot of shots and we were unlucky in the first half. The second half we got better."
Moyes added: "We've seen other teams getting beat heavily by Manchester City — we wanted to make sure that wasn't the case and I thought for long spells we did a good job."
Mancini had orginally given the City XI that threw away a two-goal lead at Fulham last week a chance to redeem themselves.
Everton's Australian Tim Cahill (who scored some goals against City in the past) - what a prick. Noel Gallagher hates him. He made a bad foul on Kompany and feigned to be injured, got a yellow card.
