LIVERPOOL, May 4 (AP): Edin Dzeko's brace helped Manchester City come from behind to beat Everton 3-2 and stay in control of the English Premier League title race Saturday.

City had won just one of its last 15 matches at Goodison Park and looked like continuing its poor run when Ross Barkley curled in a brilliant shot to give Everton an 11th-minute lead.

However, Sergio Aguero equalised in the 22nd - before going off with an apparent groin injury - and Dzeko scored twice in a five-minute span around halftime to put City 3-1 ahead.

Romelu Lukaku's goal in the 65th set up a tense finish but City held on to provisionally go top of the standings on goal difference from Liverpool, and two points clear of Chelsea.
