Pep Guardiola frustrated as hopes of taking Arsenal to wire left in critical condition
The Guardian • • sports
Key Points:
- Manchester City and Everton played to a dramatic 3-3 draw, with Jérémy Doku scoring a 97th-minute equalizer for City, complicating the Premier League title race.
- The result puts Arsenal in a commanding position to win the Premier League, as they hold a six-point lead with fewer games remaining, and City can no longer control their own destiny.
- City suffered setbacks between the 68th and 81st minutes when Everton scored three goals, shaking City’s challenge and leaving their hopes of a seventh title in jeopardy.
- Historically, City have secured titles in tight finishes under Pep Guardiola, but this season’s late slip-up leaves Arsenal poised to end a 22-year wait for the championship.
- Arsenal must still win their remaining matches against West Ham, Burnley, and Crystal Palace to secure the title, while City must rely on Arsenal dropping points and improve their own form starting with a match against Brentford.
