Manchester City boosted their hopes of European qualification with a rare away victory at Goodison Park.
The visiting side took the lead 10 minutes before half-time when an Everton free-kick was cleared and Elano played in compatriot Robinho, who slotted home through Tim Howard's legs.
Stephen Ireland doubled City's lead after another quick counter-attack and a superb ball from Robinho left him with a simple finish.
Everton were forced to play the last 30 minutes with 10 men as Phil Jagielka was eliminated with a knee injury moments after David Moyes had made a triple substitution.
Substitute Dan Gosling pulled a goal back in an extended period of stoppage time but City held on to take all three points.
Robinho was lively from the start, with six successive step-overs bamboozling Tony Hibbert before the City forward spoiled it by going down too easily in the penalty area after only eight minutes.
