Pep Guardiola’s side looked set to suffer a huge blow to their title aspirations as they trailed 1-0 at the break to Jack Harrison’s strike.
But they recovered in some style with three second-half goals to lift themselves to fourth in the table and to within five points of leaders Liverpool.
In blustery conditions, Phil Foden got them level with a thumping strike from outside of the area before City turned it around on 64 minutes.
Julian Alvarez slotted home a penalty after Amadou Onana’s handball and then Bernardo Silva made it three late on by curling home into an open net after latching on to a Jordan Pickford clearance.
Steve Bower hosted the coverage as he was joined by former Everton manager Roberto Martinez, ex-Man City full-back Gael Clichy and England legend Michael Owen as pundits on the big screen for Amazon Prime.
However, after witnessing the whirlwind on the pitch, they were all forced into the stands after the final whistle during a commercial break as the weather took a turn for the worse.
As the show returned to presenter Bower, the camera panned from their now empty position on the pitch and into the stands, showing the four men sitting in seats that had just been occupied by the raucous home crowd.
As confused fans looked on, Bower then explained: “Thunder and lightning at Goodison, it’s been rather interesting the last few minutes.

“We are not really supposed to mention the weather as we are in a privileged position but we were in a little bit of danger so we have re-positioned, Test match cricket style maybe, into the stand.”
And that did not stop them from conducting their post-match duties as Guardiola soon joined them for an impromptu sit-down interview.
Assessing his side’s performance, the Cityzens boss said: “We were really good – that’s why we are the best team in the world. I’m sorry.
“I remind them every day. We have standards to keep and that makes us have more responsibility.
“So we cannot let the standards go down.”
