Kyle Walker was one of the busiest players on the pitch when they beat Everton 2-0 on Saturday night.
Despite City’s dominance against Everton, Kyle Walker is still a very busy man.
City had to struggle to break Ancelotti’s side, scoring late in the game to seal the victory 2-0.
Goals came from Ilkay Gundogan and Kevin De Bruyne in the 84th and 90th minutes.
Pep Guardiola’s side have nearly tripled the number of passes Everton have, with the current Premier League leaders completing 668 passes total.
And the Toffees were only able to complete 226 successful passes, which just illustrates the unilateral nature of the fixture.
