Nico O'Reilly marked his latest Premier League goal with a passionate celebration in front of the Everton supporters, sliding on his knees and kissing the Manchester City badge in a moment that captured both confidence and emotion.
The 19-year-old midfielder scored for the second consecutive league game, playing a crucial role in City's 2-0 win at Goodison Park.
O'Reilly broke the deadlock in the 84th minute, turning in a well-placed cross from Matheus Nunes to hand Pep Guardiola’s side the lead after a tightly contested match. His bold celebration mirrored iconic moments in Premier League history and underscored the growing impact he is having in City's senior squad.
Mateo Kovačić added a second in stoppage time, securing all three points and boosting Manchester City's push for Champions League qualification. The win moves them into fourth place on the table with 58 points from 33 matches, placing them ahead of Chelsea and Aston Villa, though both rivals have a game in hand.
Everton, who hit the post through James Tarkowski in the first half, now remain 13th with 38 points. The defeat adds pressure as they look to secure top-flight survival in what is one of the final Premier League fixtures at Goodison Park before their upcoming stadium move.
