It was the Everton players and fans who were smiling after 11 minutes when Ross Barkley curls one from 25 years out; the height, dip, curl and swerve on it meant Joe Hart didn't get close to it Photograph: Clive Brunskill/Getty Images

The lead didn't last long as midway through the half Yaya Touré found Sergio Agüero who feinted and jinked before lashing a hard low shot in at Tim Howard's near post Photograph: Laurence Griffiths/Getty Images

Just before half-time Everton clear the ball only as far as James Milner, who delivers a pacy cross. Edin Dzeko has a free run at the cross and leaps like a salmon to nod it past Howard from a good 12 yards out Photograph: Russell Cheyne/Reuters

Manchester City survive a late scare when Deloufeu beats three defenders before being denied by a fine save from Joe Hart. The final whistle goes and the jubilant visitors take the three points which puts them on top of the table, at least till Chelsea play Norwich on Sunday.
