Everton boss Marco Silva: We deserved Man City defeat

Everton boss Marco Silva says Manchester City deserved their 3-1 win on Saturday.

Silva was most annoyed by the team's defending for City's second and third goals which came either side of one from Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

“City deserved the three points," Silva said.

“They were more effective than us.

“The chances they created, they scored and because of that they deserved the points.

“Until they scored the first goal, the game was within what we expected and planned. They did not shoot once.

“The biggest chance until that moment was Richarlison's chance, a big, big chance. After that, it changed.

“We knew they had the quality to command the match. We had to be almost perfect in our defensive organisation."
