Manchester City hurdled its last, big obstacle en route to the English Premier League title by winning 3-2 at Everton, while heavy defeats condemned Fulham and Cardiff to relegation on Saturday.

Two home wins, against Aston Villa on Wednesday and West Ham on Sunday, separate City from a second championship in three years after coming from behind to win at Goodison Park - a stadium where it has traditionally struggled with just one victory from its last 15 visits.

Sergio Aguero's goal cancelled out Ross Barkley's brilliant 11th-minute opener for Everton, then Edin Dzeko scored twice in a five-minute span bridging halftime to help City go top - for a day at least - on goal difference from Liverpool, and two points clear of Chelsea.

All three teams have two games left, with Chelsea playing Norwich on Sunday and Liverpool at Crystal Palace on Monday.
